Step by Step
The Scotch Whisky Experience is the ultimate way to discover the essence of Scotch whisky in the heart of Edinburgh, next to the Castle and the Royal Mile. With a Gold ticket, you'll enjoy a 1 hour and 15 minute experience that combines history, culture and tasting.
Your tour begins with an introduction to Scotland's five producing regions:
- Speyside, with floral and fruity whiskies.
- Highlands, varied and balanced
- Lowlands, smooth and light
- Islay, intense and smoky
- Campbeltown, with saline and spicy character
Guided by an expert, you will learn about blending techniques and how the environment influences the flavour of each whisky. The tour is supported by interactive resources and clear explanations that will make the journey through the Scottish tradition easy and exciting.
The highlight comes with a guided tasting of five regional single malts, served in a souvenir crystal glass to take home. Plus, you'll enjoy exclusive discounts in the shop and bar, and an annual membership to the Scotch Whisky Appreciation Society.
Beyond the tasting, this experience is also a cultural journey: you'll understand how whisky has shaped Scotland's identity and why it is one of the world's most loved distillates.
