I did the tasting with my family and I have to admit that I really liked the experience. Marcos is a great guide, it is clear that he knows what he is talking about and loves the world of whiskey.

I learned about how to sing and feel a whiskey, measure to drink, mix with a few drops of water. Additionally, about the distillation process and production areas in Scotland, I loved each one I tasted as well as Marcos' gift! Marcos is very pleasant and flexible about the aspects discussed as well as the depth. It is an experience that you must do in Edinburgh!!!

I contacted Marcos to do a whiskey tasting and experience with my family. Honestly, I loved it as much as I did with my family. It was fun, enjoyable, curious everything he explained to us. He really got us to take the essence and flavor of whiskey in our hearts through history and anecdotes. I think it is one of the coolest experiences I have done in Edinburgh, which I recommend 100% because it is undoubtedly fascinating. I have finally realized that the whiskey I like the most is without a doubt the smoked one. Thank you Marcos for this experience.

Marcos, in addition to having BRUTAL knowledge about whiskey and its history, is a great and wonderful guide. Not only did he answer all the questions we had but he was super receptive to giving us recommendations, which is appreciated. I recommend this experience to everyone, both amateurs and those with more extensive knowledge.
