Reviews
The Whisky Experience is famous in Edinburgh, and this was also fun! The explanations are only in English, but they talk about not only whiskey but also gin. It's a little outside the center of Edinburgh, so it's a little difficult to access.
3 tastings, cocktail, gin and whiskey. Interesting experience. Only distillery in edinburgh. Takes 1.5 hour
we had a great experience.
