What a super evening ! Lots to learn about a lovely range of whiskies and lots of laughs along the way. Vic is a great teacher and has an infectious passion for his subject. Definitely highly recommended .

I knew nothing about Whisky before I met Vic for one of his tasting night. He took me and my colleagues through the process patiently and entertainingly. I left feeling much better informed, having had a cracking night into the bargain.

We were a group of 7 wanting an introduction to Whiskey tasting and all had a great time. Vic has a vast knowledge of Whiskey and was a fantastic teacher. We all had a brilliant night and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
The most fascinating part for me was how putting 3 tiny drips of water in the Whiskey totally changes the flavour of each Whiskey.
You must contact Vic if you are in the area and wanting a tasting. Ours was on a Monday at 10pm due to busy work schedule.
Thank you Vic

Thank you for booking with us, I would agree that it was a great night.
It also shows that we really try to accommodate all our customer requests. It's not often we start an experience at 22:15 on a Monday evening, but were very happy to do so.

Having heard of Vic Cameron's 'at home' whisky tasting, I gathered together half a dozen friends and booked an evening. Vic customised the event to my requirements and over the course of a couple of hours, he worked us through the a selection of whisky and provided insider knowledge of the whisky industry that you simply don't get on a distillery tour.
For those who aren't whisky fans, don't be put off. Vic taught us that there is a whisky for everyone and that personal taste should triumph over the perceived 'correct' way to enjoy a dram. He runs you through an approach to tasting and developing an appreciation of the quality of each whisky so you can work out what you like and how you like it.
We had such a good night I made this a regular occurrence and ran 6 events over the course of a year learning knew things every time.
Very highly recommended!

Had the pleasure of being invited to an old friends house for an evening of Nosing and Tasting with Vic Cameron. What this guy doesnt know about the industry and all its many varied products isnt worth knowing. We were guided thro a local selection of 5 malts, all slightly different and i mean guided, we werent told what we should smell or taste. we were asked, lead, helped to find our own interpretation of each sample. So if your stuck for a theme for an evening with friends, colleagues or business associates i wouldnt look any further then this experience, even if you think you dont like whisky, you'll learn a lot and find a dram to suit your palette. Will be booking one myself im sure, along with a few others who attended, WE cant all be wrong !!! LOL

We were a group of nine ladies, looking to do something different on our weekend away.We had an excellent night, nosing and tasting different whiskeys with Vic and his team. Vic normally comes to your home but as we were staying in a hotel, he arranged the venue for us, and even provided taxi numbers.
The evening was interesting, informative and fun. We all know now who are the bourbon heads and who are the sherry heads in our group. Vic had a great knowledge of his products and his stories were hilarious.
Thanks again for a wonderful evening. It was a great start to our weekend!

If you want to know anything about Malt Whisky look no further. Vic is the man and with 27 years experience in the industry (inc as a distillery manager) there is no one better qualified to guide you through the world of whisky. We had a terrific evening, great laugh, tasted some amazing whiskys and learnt so much we can all now speak confidently about whisky without having to bluff anything. Don't waste your time and money with anyone else. Unequivocally recommend. A+++++
