The Whisky Tour
After stepping through the stories of Edinburgh’s past, we move into the heart of Scotland’s most iconic creation — Scotch whisky.
Join us as we take you on a sensory journey through the history of Scotch, from its humble beginnings in ancient monasteries to its rise as one of the world’s most celebrated spirits. Learn about the unique characteristics of each whisky region — the smoky, peaty drams of Islay, the honeyed elegance of the Highlands, the soft, grassy notes of the Lowlands, and the rich, fruity complexity of the Speyside malts.
Guided by our very own Hector Maclean — Prince of Clan Maclean and direct relative of Charlie MacLean, the world’s most renowned whisky taster — you’ll gain rare insight into the world of Scotch. With over 15 years of experience, Hector has worked with both artisan craft distilleries and the industry’s biggest names, building a reputation for expert tasting, storytelling, and sourcing hidden gems.
Under his guidance, you’ll sample a carefully curated selection of drams, each chosen to showcase Scotland’s diverse whisky styles. Let your taste buds be whisked away as Hector explains the aromas, flavour profiles, and stories behind each bottle — from the bold and briny to the smooth and complex.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or completely new to whisky, this is a tasting experience like no other — rich in knowledge, full of flavour, and deeply rooted in Scottish heritage.
