Ready, Steady, GO!! This whisky experience is located right at the top of the Royal Mile - which is something I would suggest you do. (Interesting fact the Royal Mile is actually 107 yards more than the standard mile!) But before you go anywhere, I would recommend you stop at 'The Scotch Whisky Experience.'

This place has been open for 30 years now, initially opened by 19 individual Scotch Whisky companies to spread the love for whisky to the international visitors. There are 6 experiences you can purchase, the longer the experience the more expensive it gets (see below). You can either buy your tickets there, or online. We bought 'The Silver Tour - 50min' which set us back £16 , however it was great value for money.
The Silver Tour included:
Whisky barrel ride through the production of Scotch whisky
Introduction to the aromas in whisky
Gift of crystal whisky tasting glass (adults and concessions only)
Audio guide available (20 languages)
A guided tour plus a nosing and tasting of two Scotch whiskies (or soft drink) including a pairing with an artisan chocolate.
Overall, if you are in Edinburgh, this is 100% a must! Even if you do not like whisky, I would recommend it as my other half Katey is not a fan of Whisky, but came out of there saying she was glad she did it. You learn a lot about how Whisky is made, how to enjoy it and there were some scented scratch cards, that you smell during a video the tour guide plays. This is an experience in itself as it is a wide curved panoramic screen with amazing views of the Scotland - it really makes you realise just how beautiful the country is and leaves you wanting to explore more.
