“Best of all were Fraser’s endless nuggets of wisdom and whisky history, and his genuine enthusiasm. ” Oliver Smith, The Telegraph
Why we love it
Located in the landmark Balmoral Hotel, SCOTCH presents Edinburgh’s largest collection of whisky available to the general public - over 500 malts, blends and vintages. As the name suggests, this is a spiritual home for whisky lovers. Traditional values meet modern sensibilities and no effort is spared to give guests an unforgettable whisky tasting experience.
What's Included?
- Savour a Rare & Ghosted Whisky Journey at SCOTCH at the Balmoral
- Sample four whiskies, each considered rare – whether a limited release, from a closed distillery or a rare bottling
- Discover a wealth of information about the taste and heritage of each dram under the guidance of one of SCOTCH’s knowledgeable Whisky Ambassadors
- During the tasting, dine on a selection of delicious bar bites, chosen to bring out the flavours in the whisky
Description
The chic bar and lounge is the perfect setting to appreciate a hand-selected series of rare whiskies. Settle into one the comfy tweed sofas and appreciate rare pleasure that few are ever lucky enough to enjoy.
To help heighten your experience, one of SCOTCH’s resident Whisky Ambassadors will regale you with the history and heritage of each dram, pointing out the nuances that give each its own special character. While you sip and savour the distinctive whiskies, you’ll also indulge in delicious treats, each chosen to enhance and counterbalance the flavours of the “water of life.”
The Old and Rare Whisky Journey is designed to take the whisky connoisseur on an exciting and rewarding sensory adventure, down roads seldom travelled by the layman. With four of the most sought-after whiskies on offer, it’s a rare treat indeed.
