Step into the shadows of the Old Town for a journey through time that tracks the ‘water of life’ from its seedy origins among smugglers and bootleggers to the global icon it is today. This 2-hour adventure pairs gritty history with an exclusive, candlelit tasting in Edinburgh’s hidden underground vaults.
Getting started
Your journey begins at the historic Mercat Cross on High Street. Here, you’ll meet your guide and receive your TourTalk audio device, ensuring you catch every detail of the colourful history as you navigate the bustling Royal Mile. Please note this experience is strictly for adults (18+) and involves a walk of approximately 950 steps through Edinburgh's historic wynds.
What to expect
Wander through the narrow closes where the world’s largest whisky companies were born, hearing tales of royal prescriptions and illicit stills. The experience ends deep beneath the city streets in Megget’s Cellar, where you will taste your way through Scotland’s diverse whisky regions in an atmospheric setting.
