Scotch Whisky Experience
Alongside Edinburgh Castle visitors can enjoy a 'wee dram' and
uncover the secrets of brewing Scotland's famed malt, grain and
blended whiskies, known to the locals as 'the water of life'. The
whisky tour includes a barrel ride through the history of whisky, a
tutored tasting, and a chance to meet a resident ghost. The bar
offers the chance to choose from 270 different whiskies, and a
restaurant serves up traditional Scots cuisine. The interactive
tour promises fun for all the family, although of course only
adults are permitted to sample the wares.
