Edinburgh Scotch Whisky Tasting with 3-Course Dinner

This guided tasting takes you through Scotland's five whisky regions without leaving Edinburgh. A whisky expert walks you through the history of Scotch, the craft of blending, and the maturation process, explained from inside the cask rather than off a textbook. Along the way you'll sample four regional single malts plus a deluxe blend or blended malt, learning what sets each region's aromas and flavors apart.

The tasting includes an extended private viewing of one of the most significant Scotch whisky collections in the world, along with a souvenir Glencairn crystal tasting glass to take home. You'll also become a member of the Scotch Whisky Appreciation Society for a year, with ongoing discounts at the specialist whisky bar and shop attached to the experience.

Afterward, you're seated in the Amber Restaurant for a three-course Scottish tasting menu: a trio of starters, a trio of mains, and dessert, each paired with a dram of Scotch whisky, finished with tea or coffee. It's a full sensory route through Scotland's national drink, built for anyone curious about what actually separates one whisky region from another.

The experience opens with a guided tour and tutored tasting, where a whisky expert leads you through Scotland's five whisky regions. You'll learn about blending and maturation while sampling four regional single malts and a deluxe blend, then take an extended private look at one of the world's most notable Scotch whisky collections. You'll walk away with a souvenir Glencairn tasting glass and a year's membership to the Scotch Whisky Appreciation Society.

From there, you're seated in the Amber Restaurant for a three-course Scottish tasting menu. A trio of starters and a trio of mains lead into dessert, with each course matched to a dram of Scotch whisky, and the meal closes with tea or coffee. Altogether it's a structured evening — tasting first, dinner second — that moves from whisky education into a relaxed sit-down meal.
