Afternoon Whisky Tasting in a Traditional Edinburgh Bar
Whisky tastings for individuals or small groups hosted in a traditional bar in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. 2.30pm tastings at the Jolly Judge Bar
Personally tailored to suit the clients knowledge and understanding of Scotch whisky. With a focus on discussion, explanation and answering customers questions in a free-form style rather than a rehearsed script. I aim to make every tasting a unique and memorable experience for everybody at the table.
Perfectly suited for beginners, but also for those wishing to learn a little more about Scotch, its tastes, and history. My tastings are freely open to tourists and local alike.
