The Scotch Whisky Experience

The Scotch Whisky Experience is a visitor attraction themed around Scotch whisky in Edinburgh, Scotland. The attraction occupies a Category B listed Victorian era school building, located on Castlehill, part of the Royal Mile in the Old Town. It is immediately adjacent to the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, within the Edinburgh UNESCO World Heritage Site. The attraction's main feature is a guided tour which introduces visitors to the history of Scotch whisky. Since May 2009, the attraction has been home to the Diageo Claive Vidiz Whisky Collection, one of the largest archival collections of Scotch whisky in the world. The lower two floors of the attraction building are occupied by the Amber Restaurant & Whisky Bar, which serves traditional Scottish cuisine. The attraction also has a gift shop, corporate spaces, and hosts private whisky tastings.
