Private Edinburgh Whisky Tour - Distilleries & Tastings
Overview
This Whiskywheels tour is fantastic for those wishing to sample what the Edinburgh whisky distilleries and tasting venues have to offer.
Delicate and fruity, with a kick, these drams are some of the most well sought after in the whisky industry:
1. Glenkinchie Distillery is a single malt whisky distillery in East Lothian, Scotland. The best distillery tour in the Lowland region and one of the best in the country.
2. The Malt Whisky Society was formed in 1983 by a group of unconventional ‘water of life’ experts. The society exists to present their selected single cask whisky in its purest form.
3. Our final stop for your Edinburgh whisky tour is the newly built Holyrood distillery. Holyrood is all about flavour.
Taste your way through our beautiful city, while learning the history and entertaining tales from local experts who know their whisky.
