This was an excellent tour. I had the chance to taste some fantastic spirits, and I found the history to be quite engaging. The guide did a great job!
A wealth of historical information and plenty of whiskey to sample. The guide was outstanding, providing answers to questions all along the way.
Gail provided an informative and enjoyable experience. The selection of samples was diverse and tasty. We appreciated the 25% discount on gift shop items, which allowed us to purchase some wonderful souvenirs. Jenna, the bartender, was instrumental in helping us choose and mix our complimentary drinks.
This tour is a must-see during your visit. It was both fascinating and enlightening. Our guide was excellent—she was friendly and kept everyone involved. Additionally, the whiskey they offer is fantastic.
I have participated in numerous tours, but this one fell short of my expectations. The introductory drink was only a few teaspoons, and each sample was similarly small. Our guide seemed rushed, spoke too quickly to be easily understood, especially for some international guests. The constant jumping around made it challenging to follow along. Personal anecdotes about your family didn't add value, and the feeling of being hurried because of the upcoming 3:00 tour was frustrating. Overall, we felt unsatisfied and rushed. I found the Liberty Pole tour to be far superior and would recommend that instead of this one, which I wouldn't suggest to friends or family.
Braxton brought a lively and engaging energy to the tour. His entertaining style made the experience enjoyable, and he offered valuable insights into the history of whiskey.

Braxton provided a fantastic tour featuring the history of whiskey-making and its ties to Pittsburgh, making everyone feel welcome. The tour was both educational and enjoyable, and the added samples enhanced the experience. He thoroughly explained each product we tasted and addressed all inquiries.

We chose to stay for lunch afterward and had a lovely meal.
