The Scotch Whisky Experience: Masterclass on the Royal Mile

Descend into the world's most comprehensive whisky collection — over 3,500 bottles — and be guided through the sensory science of Scotland's liquid gold by a whisky ambassador on the Royal Mile, steps from Edinburgh Castle.

What to expect

The tour opens with a dramatic barrel-ride through the distillation process, then moves into a guided nosing and tasting session covering the five whisky-producing regions of Scotland. The Gold experience includes five premium single malts and a dram of your choice from the extraordinary collection. The resident Whisky Bar is one of the finest in Scotland — linger over a rare expression before your guide takes you back through the Royal Mile to your vehicle.
