Fabulous Customer Service A regular visitor to Robertsons when in Pitlochry, I bought a bottle of Signatory Vintage Craigellachie 10 year old using the website. Unfortunately, when this was delivered by the carrier, it was clear that it was broken. I refused the delivery and it was returned. I called Ewan and explained the situation and he promised that he would put things right. True to his word, he sourced another bottle for me and within a short space of time I received it. His understanding, calm manner and the fact that he clearly values his customers is what sets Ewan, and the rest of the team at Robertsons, apart from others. Many Thanks.

Gin, whiskey and great banter If you think this just another sipping gin and whiskey afternoon, think again. John delivers an enjoyable, engaging and educational hour of the how, why and when of the art of drinking and tasting these delicious delights.We sipped, we laughed, we learned. We cannot recommend this experience enough.

Whisky and gin tasting We booked the whisky and gin tasting experience as part of an anniversary celebrations weekend.Our guide through the experience was John, highly knowledgeable, friendly and we would quite happily have spent longer in his company to hear more.The experience itself was very enjoyable in a lovely setting. Learned lots and was a very pleasant afternoon. His female colleague in store (sorry we didn't get her name), was also lovely and helpful when browsing in store.

Great whisky tasing Great Whisky Tasting My wife and I did an afternoon tasting with John that was brilliant. What was so good is they do gin and whisky at the saltine so we could both enjoy our different spirits. And being the only whisky drinker amongst the 4 taking part John tailored the drams finishing off with an Ardbeg Uigedail. Sublime

Ewan has encyclopedic whisky knowledge! Visited as a whisky club of 8 seasoned whisky drinkers for a 5 dram tasting with Ewan. We thought we knew a bit about whisky but Ewan’s knowledge was an amazing and we learned a great deal while sipping 5 very nice whiskies. It’s worth saying that as a group of friends with some banter going on, Ewan picked up in our sense of humor and joined in seamlessly. We spent a very enjoyable hour and a half in Ewan’s company, and all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. 👍

John Galt, Robertson Fine Whisky Connoisseur generates a new Single MaltScotch Whisky convert My friend and I wanted to learn about whisky before we left Scotland. My thoughts had been to wait til the duty free at Edinburgh Airport. John Galt, a charming whisky expert, recommened that we come to a whisky tasting to savour the “Life’s waters” of Scotland. He stated I could always get clothes and to toss my luggage to make room for some fine whisky. We did attend and are so happy that we had the experience. The 5 choices were: Dalwhinnie, Edradour Caledonia, Glencadam, Glen Scotia and Isla Storm. John’s guidance, descriptions and fervant appreciation of how to savour gave us a rich, deeply Scottish recognition of the elements to tasting. We are both so pleased that we took his tasting afternoon. I learned how to appreciate the peatier whiskies that I would have declined. I did donate clothes to the charity shop and came back to Canada with Edradour 12 year old Caledonia and Edradour Ballechin. These will give me years of reliving the John Galt Whisky Tasting at Robertson’s Fine Whisky Emporium.

Amazing tasting, great price, delicious, and fun! My buddy and I did a whiskey tasting at Robertsons of Pitlochry. John was absolutely amazing! We really wish we would have brought our wives. We tasted 5 Single Malt Scotch Whiskeys and learned so much about how Scotland creates it, what region it's from, and how to properly taste it. John was extremely professional and funny. I highly recommend this experience if you are in Scotland! I have done more than 10 tastings and this was by far the best!

Pitlochry surprise to discover your tastebuds. What a surprise. Recommend by family this was a completely unexpected joy. Looks like a purveyor of fine spirits from outside, which it is, but it’s so much more. John introduced us to Gin tasting. Who even knew that was a thing. Discovered a whole new side of why Gin is like it is. Not to mention I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. Donna can find you a perfect bottle to drink or keep. If you’re in Pitlochry, or within 50 miles, book a visit. You won’t be disappointed. It’s not just Gin, they can enlighten you to Whisky and other delights. Do it, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful shop, great tasting and amazing Donna We are a group of whisky lovers from the Netherlands. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon at almost closing time. The lady in the shop, Donna, invited us in. We had a laugh and a few sips and promised we’d be back. The next day we had a tasting. We enjoyed the stories behind the bottles and the great hospitality of Donna. It was a day we never forget! Thanks Until next time! Lots of love from Soosmanet

Fantastic whiskey tasting experience! Had a fantastic whiskey tasting session with John… learned so much and have a new appreciation for the art of the craft. Learned how to better savor the varieties and flavors that each distillery brings to the experience. Highly recommend doing this if you’re curious about Scottish whiskey varieties!

A Pitlochry Essential. This was a highlight of a short stay in Pitlochry. We visited on our first evening and were thrilled there was a music session taking place. Ewan’s advice for whiskies to accompany the music was first class. On our second and third visits, we were hosted and entertained by Donna whose unfussy enthusiasm for whisky was intoxicating. If you know nothing about whisky, you’ll learn a lot in a short time from Donna. If you know a little or more, you’ll still find out so much.

Single Malt Scotch Tasting We had a very enjoyable time learning about single malt whiskeys from John. He demonstrated the right way to sample and drink scotch. (Yes, there is a wrong way.) An added bonus was that our table was shared with folks doing a gin tasting, so we got the benefit of that as well. Altogether a well-spent afternoon.

Must stop in Scotland A fabulous tasting curated by John taking us through 5 different whiskeys . He gave us a history of scotch, tasting decorum and introduced us to 5 different whiskeys we don’t often get back in the states. Much better than any distillery tour.

The owner and staff are very knowledgeable. I was so impressed I bought a few drinks and went back the following day and bought more
