The Main Event

Give the gift of whisky, warmth and a few legendary tales with this Whisky Tasting and Tales Experience in Edinburgh, the perfect treat for anyone who loves a good dram (and a great story).

Nestled just off the Royal Mile, this two-hour experience takes place in Hot Toddy, a beautiful private whisky lounge that feels like it was built for storytelling. Think cosy, relaxed atmosphere, and the irresistible aroma of fine Scotch in the air. It’s here that your lucky gift recipient will embark on a flavourful journey through Scotland’s four great whisky-producing regions, the Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside and Islay.

Under the guidance of an expert host, guests will sample four exceptional single malt whiskies, each bursting with its own distinctive character. As each dram is poured, fascinating tales are told. Stories of hidden stills, daring smugglers, and the centuries-old craft that made Scotch whisky a global icon. 

With comprehensive tasting notes and the friendly expertise of a true whisky aficionado, even complete beginners will walk away feeling like seasoned connoisseurs. For non-whisky drinkers, alternative drinks are available too, so everyone can join in the fun. 

Whether it’s a surprise gift for dad, a memorable birthday present or a unique way to say “cheers,” this experience is the ultimate gift for whisky lovers and curious minds alike.

Highlights:

  • Sample four superb single malt Scotch whiskies from Scotland’s key regions
  • Enjoy expert-led storytelling in an exclusive whisky lounge
  • Learn fascinating whisky history and tasting notes
  • Located just off Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile
  • Drink alternatives available for non-whisky drinkers
