Edinburgh’s best whisky tasting tour with your own private chauffeur and guide!

If you are looking for a relaxed and enjoyable activity to take part in during your time in Edinburgh, book our Edinburgh Whisky Tasting Tour.

Aimed at experienced whisky enthusiasts, newcomers to whisky or people just looking to see Edinburgh’s beauty with a whisky in hand.

Our whisky tasting in Edinburgh takes you on a magical trip through Edinburgh’s medieval streets, stopping at world class whisky bars and whisky tasting venues all while being safely chauffeured and guided through the day by our local driver guides.

Edinburgh has a fascinating whisky distilling history which can go undetected as there are only a couple of distilleries active just now.

Our Edinburgh tasting tours are inspired by the history, Scottish enthusiasm and diversity of this enchanting city.

You will have the chance to meet with and speak to a variety of whisky experts and learn from their vast experience, while also given time to sample the whisky at your own pace.

This experience is perfect for those looking to learn and experience new flavours, local customs and try some unique whiskies that can only be purchased in Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh.

Sadly due to drink driving regulations, even a half bottle of beer can put you over the drink driving limit! As such, we believe that our tours can help take away the stress and time consuming ordeal that car rental can be. We include transport throughout your Edinburgh whisky tasting experience.

As we operate your day on a private booking basis, we can pick up your group from your accommodation and return you there or at a location of your request within the City of Edinburgh.

We operate our Edinburgh whisky tasting experiences on a bespoke basis. To help us make the perfect day for you, can you fill in some details below?
