A great afternoon at the Johnny Walker experience in Edinburgh this afternoon. The whole business went for a company team building event. A huge call out to Ryan and Ali for their amazing hosting talents. You made it even more of a special event! Such good value for money as there are three drinks included in the ticket price. I suggest you book their 1820 roof terrace bar for drinks and food afterwards. The views are to die for! I would absolutely recommend this experience.
