Scotch Whisky Experience[edit | edit source]
The Scotch Whisky Experience is a visitor attraction located in Edinburgh, Scotland, dedicated to the history and production of Scotch whisky. It offers a range of tours and tastings, and houses the world's largest collection of Scotch whisky.
History[edit | edit source]
The Scotch Whisky Experience was opened in 1988 by a group of major Scotch whisky companies. It is located on Castlehill, in the Old Town area of Edinburgh, near the Edinburgh Castle. The building itself is a former school, dating back to the 19th century.
Tours and Tastings[edit | edit source]
Visitors to the Scotch Whisky Experience can choose from a variety of tours, each offering a different level of insight into the world of Scotch whisky. The Silver Tour is the most basic, providing an overview of the whisky-making process and a tasting of one Scotch whisky. The Gold Tour includes a tasting of four regional Scotch whiskies, while the Platinum Tour offers a sensory tasting experience of four super-premium Scotch whiskies.
In addition to the tours, the Scotch Whisky Experience also offers whisky tastings, where visitors can sample a range of Scotch whiskies under the guidance of expert staff.
Whisky Collection[edit | edit source]
