We had a wonderfull time at this whiskey experience! Michael told us amazing stories about many historic figures of Edinburgh and Scotland, sang songs, played the guitar, and of course, presented tasty whiskeys to us. We were surprised and amazed that this was so much more than a whiskey experience. Would recommend to anyone :)

Great experience, with good whiskey and great explanation about the history of it. From the beginning end end of process of whiskey production and about its history.

Susanna was so educational and super fun! Was a tiny group of 2 strangers but by the end of it we were basically besties. Susanna is a wonderful storyteller and kept us engaged the entire time. I'm not knowledgeable about whiskey but by the end of it was able to loosely distinguish the notes.

Amazing experience and great whiskeys! Susana was very knowledgeable and so enthusiastic, it made learning about the history of Scottish whisky very fun! Set in a great pub too.

The way Susan described…..we were transported to older days….But she should have shown in some videos of distillation process,rather than only telling.

Rebecca was an excellent hostess and we learned a lot about the "water of life" and now we appreciate why it must rain so much in Scotland!

Susana was wonderful! Witty, knowledgeable, and fun. She took us through the history and the tasting with an eye to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in whiskey or interested in broadening their horizons on the subject.

We had a great whisky tasting experience when we visited Edinburgh. The Waverly is one of the best, authentic Scottish pubs on the High Street, with true locals sitting at the bar downstairs. The tasting takes place in a separate room upstairs, where we got to learn about the history and alchemy of whisky distillation. Interspersed throughout the history, we sampled three different whiskies comparing their color, smell, and flavors. We would happily do this tasting again, and Susanna was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

This event should really be advertised as a "Cozy Whisky Tasting." The upper floor of the pub we met at—The Waverly—had an incredibly warm and cozy ambience. Its charm was matched by our host, Anthea, who made us feel like we were simply out chatting with a friend. We tried three whiskies from different distilleries. Our host talked us through a top-level process of making the whisky, as well as the process of tasting the selection prepared for us. This was a great way to spend some time out of the rain and off the stone!

Susanna was amazing! Informative and educational as well as engaging. The whisky was awesome as well.
