What travelers think of our Edinburgh experiences
What you’ll do
We know you’re in Scotland, but forget about whisky for a second – there’s another spirit that has been perfected here. By 1777, Edinburgh was already home to eight gin distilleries, and today this proud tradition continues. With a local gin-loving host who knows all about Edinburgh gin’s past as well as its present, you’ll get an interactive lesson in the history and production of gin that you might not remember in the morning.
Walk down the city center’s cobbled lanes between local and independent gin distilleries and bars, and learn about the different styles of gins and the botanicals that flavor them. Sample gins from Edinburgh and beyond while your local host shares stories about the surprising dark side of Scotland’s gin history...
