        Unfortunately we cannot issue any refunds for cancellations. If you cannot make the tour time chosen, please contact the distillery as soon as possible as time bookings can only be changed at the discretion of the distillery and are subject to availability.

        Cancellation Exceptions: we appreciate that getting to our island distillery can be at the mercy of weather and transport. Should any sailing or flight be cancelled due to weather or technical failure we will refund any experience impacted by such events.

         

        Walk In Bookings

        Tours need not be pre-booked, however we recommend that reservations are made at busy times, especially weekends, bank holidays and in peak season as well as for group bookings.  Walk-in visitor Tour spaces operate on a first come first served basis.  We cannot guarantee that such places will be available at all times.

         

        Group Bookings

        Tours are strictly limited to a maximum of 16 persons.  Group numbers exceeding our maximum Tour size will need to be split into smaller groups, with a 15 minute interval between each Tour start time.  We cannot guarantee the availability of Tour guides for walk-in visitors, especially for large parties.

        If a group is formed by persons under the age of 18, e.g. school groups, no alcohol will be sold to any person within the group.  This includes teachers, lead guides, drivers etc., even if half of them are over the age of 18, sales of alcohol will not be allowed to any member of the group.

        A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to guarantee the booking. Payment should be made via a debit/credit card by phoning the Visitor Centre.

        Invoicing of group bookings will only be available for those customers that have an account with us. Accounts will only be provided to companies that bring customers to us on a regular basis and have done so for more than a year.

         

        Booking Process

        Bookings can be made via our website, by telephone, in person at the visitor centre or by contacting us by email.

        You should check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking request is made. All Tours are sold subject to availability.

        Your booking is not confirmed until we have issued your booking confirmation. At that point a binding contract will be entered into between us.

        Tours are not wheelchair accessible.  If you have any requirements for special assistance, please contact the visitor centre in advance to ensure we can receive you so that you get the best possible experience.

        The date and time of your Tour will be clearly stated on your booking confirmation and we request that you arrive in good time for your Tour, e.g. 10-15 minutes before your start time.  Tours start at 1-hour intervals from each other and it is important that they are able to begin promptly at the stated time.

        If you arrive after your designated Tour has commenced, you may not be able to take part without disrupting others.  We will do our best to accommodate you with the next available Tour during that day, particularly if you have come a long distance, however, demand may be high, especially in peak season, and we cannot guarantee that there will be spaces available.  Unfortunately we are unable to refund tickets where no suitable alternative time is available.

         

        Language

        Our Tours are in English only.  If a member of staff speaks the language requested, we will assist where available.  However this cannot be guaranteed.  If a group requires translation we recommend that they bring their own translator.  If the group size exceeds our maximum Tour size, then you will need to ensure you have enough translators for each group.

        All Tour visitors should remain together whilst on the Tour and within the restricted Tour area.

        • to take an alternative Tour of equivalent or superior quality, if we are able to offer that, or
        • to take a substitute Tour of lower quality if we are able to offer that (in which event the difference in price between the original and the substitute Tour will be refunded to you); or
        • to cancel your booking and obtain a full refund of all monies paid by you.

         

        On certain days or at certain times, some parts of the Distillery may be closed, e.g. for cleaning, maintenance etc.  The Distillery may not be fully operational during silent season, although Tours will still be in operation.  Bookings will not be refunded and no compensation will be paid for Tours during this time.
