Taste Original Scottish Whisky

Good Place to Drink

The Scots love alcohol. In Edinburgh, their insatiable need for pubs has produced some very nice establishments to visit, including ancient hostelries in the Grassmarket where Scottish folk music regales visitors on Sunday evenings.

Of course, whether in Edinburgh, Glasgow or the Highlands, the drink of choice has to be malt whisky. Scotland’s four main whisky-producing regions are the Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside and Islay, so if you’re visiting, take a distillery tour to see how Scotland’s ‘water of life’ is lovingly produced and aged.

In Edinburgh, gastronomic whisky-tasting tours delve into the ins and outs of Scotch whisky appreciation: color, body, nose, palate and finish. Experts also reveal the complex art of blending whisky and malt, and the traditions, lore and recipes that give each blend its individual appeal.

Doing what: Highland Lochs, Glens and Whisky Small-Group Day Trip from Edinburgh

We enjoyed the tour very much, really does give you an idea of what the Highlands are like in one day, if that is all the time you can manage, you will want to come back for more though. Enjoyed the small groups.

It was a really lovely evening. We were warmly greeted on arrival and the evening was explained to us clearly. The meal was absolutely beyond compare, and our host for the whiskey tasting was friendly, knowledgable and fun. We had the best time ever.
