What to expect

Take a sensory tour through Edinburgh’s Old Town, the birthplace of Scotland’s whisky heritage. Learn how King James IV sparked whisky production in the 15th century and uncover tales of smugglers, bootleggers, and whisky pioneers like Andrew Usher Jr. and George Ballantine. Stroll through historic wynds and closes where Scotch whisky’s story began.

End your experience with a candlelit whisky tasting in our exclusive underground Megget’s Cellar. Guided by a whisky expert, you’ll nose and taste four single malts from Speyside, Highland, Islay, and Lowland regions. Discover how casks, peat, barley, and water influence each unique dram. It’s the perfect way to explore Scotland’s “water of life” and start your journey toward becoming a true whisky connoisseur
