“The show stopper is the ceiling-high cabinet housing a collection of more than 420 whiskies… with proprietary expressions mingling with independent bottlings and some from single casks.” The Telegraph
Why we love it

Settle in for a dram beside the bar's stunning hand-crafted, oak-panelled whisky cabinet on this whisky tasting experience exploring Scotland's five regions. A phenomenal tasting at one of the city's best-kept secrets.

Description
Take a seat on one the comfortable tweed sofas and let your tastebuds transport you to each of Scotland’s whisky regions in turn. To help you navigate through one of Edinburgh’s largest collections, you will be guided through your chosen Whisky Journey by one of SCOTCH's resident Whisky Ambassadors.
Your Ambassador is on hand to answer your questions, regale you with the heritage of each dram and generally make sure your Journey is first class. While you sip and savour the distinctive whiskies, you’ll also indulge in delicious treats, each chosen to complement the flavours of the “water of life.”
