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.

Delve into the history and alchemy of creating the perfect blend, and learn how geography and weather combine to create unique regional characteristics, aromas and flavours.

Explore the glass & marble vault of one of the world’s largest collections of Scotch whisky, considered one of the seven wonders of the Scotch whisky world!

Open 364 days of the year, The Scotch Whisky Experience is fully accessible and welcomes assistance dogs.
