Itinerary
The Scotch Whisky Experience is the only visitor attraction in the world to take you on a whisky grand tour of Scotland’s five whisky producing regions.
Located next to Edinburgh Castle on The Royal Mile, inspirational guides will take you on a sensory journey of discovery, through the floral and fruity malts of Speyside, to the smoky and peaty whiskies of Islay.
