Whisky-Tasting Introduction

Participants gather in Edinburgh's Old Town for an introductory whisky session covering the history of whisky and the development of Scottish whisky. The experience includes sampling four whiskies from Scotland's main whisky regions while exploring a recently discovered underground area. A guide leads the group through the venue, offering different tasting levels simultaneously to accommodate preferences. The Intermediate Whiskies option provides four drams of rarer, more complex whiskies for those with some experience. The High End Whiskies option features five drams of premium whiskies typically found in specialist shops but often avoided due to cost.
