Whisky School Testimonials
My week at Springbank Whisky School far exceeded my expectations, and I thought I had high expectations before attending. What an amazing time. Did that really happen? Or was that just some sweet dream after a dram, or two, or three? Everyone I interacted with at Springbank, and Cadenhead’s as well, were great to meet, work with, and learn from.

It’s simply incredible how friendly, enthusiastic and willing to teach us everyone has been – it’s the experience of a lifetime! I’m sad it is over to be honest but the memories will last forever and I would grab the opportunity to one day jump back in and do some work with any of these teams!

My dreams come true to be at least partially responsible for my making products by Springbank, my favourite whisky distillery! I truly believe that people make companies and that was confirmed based on what I saw. Your staff have a great attitude, passion and sense of humour during their duties. That is a saying that ” If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life ” – that was seen in all the eyes of people I met last week. I would be honoured to participate once again in a few years.
