Description

Step into the heart of Edinburgh and immerse yourself in a whisky tasting experience that celebrates Scotland’s national drink. Set just off the iconic Royal Mile, this event invites you to discover the unique flavors of four single malt scotch whiskies, each representing a different whisky-producing region of Scotland.

Your guide welcomes you to Hot Toddy, a bespoke whisky lounge designed for comfort and conversation. Over two hours, you’ll sample whiskies ranging from the delicate notes of the Lowlands to the bold character of Islay, with expert tasting notes provided to enhance your appreciation.

As you sip, your guide weaves captivating tales of Scotland’s whisky heritage, from secret stills and daring smugglers to the drink’s enduring role in Scottish culture. This experience is as much about storytelling as it is about tasting, offering a deeper understanding of whisky’s place in local identity.

If whisky isn’t your drink of choice, you can still enjoy the evening’s stories with an alternative beverage, ensuring everyone feels welcome. This event is designed for small groups and is conducted in English, making it a perfect cultural evening for visitors and locals alike.

The tour lasts approximately two hours and takes place in a cozy venue in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Don’t miss your chance to savor Scotland’s finest spirits and stories—secure your spot now for an unforgettable evening of whisky and tradition!
