Scotch Whisky Experience - Edinburgh
25th of August 2012

 

After my discovery that I liked Whisky I kind of regretted not visiting the Scotch Whisky Experience during out motorbike tour of Scotland and our visit to Edinburgh. {link} So I decided to head back to Edinburgh the next year and make up for this 'mistake'. I took the plane and following a short bus ride I ended up in the city center.

After a short tour over familiar ground it was finally time to walk up the Royal Mile...

Without giving to much away I joined the Silver tour allowing me in the Barrel Ride, a quick introduution to the Whisky Regions and their specific characteristics. At the end of the tour I was dropped at the bar and could I enjoy my 4 drams of Whisky included in the tour.

After the Tour I made a short walk to another 'hobby' of mine. The Hard Rock Cafe.

Following a good meal was it time for another walk (uphill) to find my (student) Hotel and bed at the Pollock Halls.

On my way back I stopped at the Whisky Shop at the Airport to collect some memorabilia.
