An Award-Winning Walking Tasting Experience Through Glasgow West End
Step Off the Beaten Path and Into Glasgow’s Whisky Soul.
Glasgow’s West End is celebrated worldwide for its grand Victorian architecture, historic landmarks such as Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the University of Glasgow, and iconic cobbled alleyways like Ashton Lane.
But beyond the red-sandstone facades and Gothic atmosphere, you’ll find some of Scotland’s most authentic, characterful whisky venues away from the tourist trail. Led by an award-winning local whisky ambassador, this walking tour takes you through the stunning surroundings of Kelvinbridge, Glasgow University and hidden spots near Ashton Lane. An area Time Out Magazine has named one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
Along the way, you will do more than taste whisky. You will learn how to nose and evaluate it like a master, while hearing curious anecdotes, local legends, and the quirky history behind Scotland’s national drink. Each dram is carefully chosen to take your palate on a journey across Scotland’s whisky regions, all without leaving the warmth of Glasgow’s best local pubs.
