Eric was a great guide. Explained the history of the distillery district and how the drinking laws came around. My only drawback was it would have been nice if the process of how they made the whiskey could have made things a little more interesting. As with being from Scotland and have done Scottish whisky distilleries make the whisky as different areas use different methods. Was nice to taste some Canadian whiskies. Eric mentioned about putting ice in whiskey is not correct as first. I explained to the group from the Scottish perspective that you only add very small amounts of water in to your desired taste.
