Guided Whisky Tour through Edinburgh's New Town

Discover Edinburgh through the stories of Scotland's national drink on this award-winning whisky walking tour.

Led by a passionate local whisky guide, you'll explore the city's historic streets while visiting three carefully selected whisky bars, each chosen for its atmosphere, outstanding whisky selection and unique character. Along the way, enjoy four premium single malt Scotch whiskies and discover the fascinating history, traditions and craftsmanship behind Scotland's most iconic spirit.

Whether you're new to Scotch whisky or already an enthusiast, your guide will help you taste whisky with confidence and appreciate the flavours, aromas and stories behind every glass.

More than just a whisky tasting, this experience combines Edinburgh's rich history with authentic Scottish hospitality, making it the perfect introduction to Scotland's whisky culture.
