- Scott HSeptember 2025
Excellent, immersive experience with the tour and tasting at the end. The Gold upgrade was worth it to not only get a bit more information but to try 4 different scotches from around Scotland. Their selection in the gift shop was great as well and our guide, Lorna, was fun and knowledgeable. Great recommendation to learn about scotch and the whole process!

A highly refined and entertaining show. Much more high tech than I expected. I went in knowing basically nothing about it and left feeling like I have some knowledge about whiskey making and different parts of Scotland that give you different flavors. That was actually pretty true. Also the alcohol offerings at the end are pretty reasonable and they have a really nice selection. The collection was also super impressive.

A very enjoyable and well-done experience for anyone interested in learning about Scotch whisky. The tour was interactive, informative, and thoughtfully designed—it moved at a great pace and kept things interesting throughout. Our presenter was friendly, funny, and engaging, which really added to the whole experience. The shop at the end is also worth a visit, with a great selection of whiskies to choose from. Definitely a recommended stop if you’re in Edinburgh and want to learn more about Scotch whisky in a fun and memorable way.

The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh is a must-visit for anyone curious about Scotland’s most famous spirit. Located near Edinburgh Castle, it offers an engaging and educational journey through the history, production, and flavors of Scotch whisky. The tour begins with a fun barrel ride that explains the whisky-making process, followed by a guided tasting session tailored to your flavor preferences. The highlight is the stunning whisky collection – one of the largest in the world. Friendly guides make the experience informative even for beginners, and the whisky shop is well-stocked with great choices. A perfect mix of culture, taste, and tradition!
