About this show

Step beneath Edinburgh's historic streets and explore the city's deep connection to Scotch whisky. This guided tasting traces the journey of whisky from early aqua vitae and smuggling routes, to the rise of merchant houses and global trade. Along the way, discover the revival of the Victorian-era Skene Dhu brand, first patented in 1905 and now reborn with distinctive bottlings. Taste a curated selection of Scotch whiskies from across Scotland's regions whilst hearing the stories, legends and characters that shaped Scotland’s national spirit. No step-free access.
