Welcome to the heart of Scotland’s whisky wonderland – now let’s get down to business! You’ll try several single malt whiskies from Scotland’s major whisky-producing regions, and your whisky-loving local host will help you pick up on the different notes, from the subtle flavors of the Lowlands to Islay’s bold and smoky Scotch. Explore a traditional whisky cellar and learn a little about the distillation process, then head to a small batch producer to experience Edinburgh’s take on the craft revolution. End your whisky-fueled walking tour at a local pub, and let the drams flow while your host shares the Scottish traditions and witticisms surrounding the traditional tipple. Who would’ve thought you’d end your day a certified whisky connoisseur?
In the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland’s aptly named “Gateway to Scotch whisky”, you’ll sample wee drams of the amber-colored liquor that put the city on the map. You’ll follow your local host, a fellow whisky aficionado, down the razor-thin cobblestone alleys cutting through the center of Edinburgh’s iconic Old Town. In this neighborhood that looks like a page from a fairytale, you’ll not only see some of the city’s most famous landmarks but taste the best of Scotland’s national drink. You’ll stroll (or stumble) along the length of the Royal Mile, a historic hub of drinking and dining where single malt liquid gold flows freely, and pick a low-key pub to drink whisky like the locals do: surrounded by music, friends, and the echo of laughter.
