Reviews
3 tastings, cocktail, gin and whiskey. Interesting experience. Only distillery in edinburgh. Takes 1.5 hour
we had a great experience.
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.
