Edinburgh: Scotch Whisky Tasting

The experience includes a guided whisky tasting led by a whisky expert. You’ll start at The Pear Tree, a historic pub, and then move to the whisky bar for tastings of three single malts plus a sample of newly made spirit (unaged whisky). You’ll also learn about the history and flavor profile of each drink, including where the whiskies come from and how different regions and distilleries influence the character.

The tasting lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes. This includes time for the expert’s guided introduction, the tasting of the three single malts, and the additional sample of unaged whisky.

The experience begins at The Pear Tree in Edinburgh. After meeting and getting started there, the group proceeds to the whisky bar at Tipsy Midgie for the tasting of the selected whiskies.

No—prior whisky knowledge isn’t required. The whisky expert will explain the history, production context, and flavor notes for each whisky, and will guide you through what to look for while tasting. Even if you’re new to Scotch, you’ll get a clear introduction to the differences between whiskies from various distilleries and regions.

Yes, the price (47.32 EUR) is typically charged per person for the tasting experience. You should bring a valid ID (you may be asked to verify age), and it’s best to wear comfortable clothing for a short walk between the meeting pub and the whisky bar. Since this involves alcohol tasting, please plan accordingly for your onward plans after the session.
