Join us for an evening of whisky and stories in the historic heart of the Old Town of Edinburgh! This is the ideal introduction to the world of whisky - we'll talk to you about the history of whisky, and tell you how Scottish whisky became the finest in the world. Along the way, we'll sample whiskies from each of the major whisky producing regions of Scotland, whilst exploring a newly uncovered underground area of Edinburgh. With 4 different whiskies, one of our guides leads you on a spirited adventure through our very unique venue. The different levels all run at the same time and place, so you can tailor the experience to suit your group by selecting different ones for each member:- Intermediate Whiskies - for those who have a little more whisky experience and want the opportunity to try something more rare and complex, this offers you more unusual and exciting whiskies, with the same blend of history to accompany them! 4 Drams of more upmarket whisky High End Whiskies - top shelf whisky for the serious whisky buff! 5 Drams this time, and the whiskies that you would pine after in the specialist whisky shops, but maybe hesitate to buy because of the price tag ;)
