5.00The lost close was an incredible piece of history, what a place to do a whiskey tasting. Our guide took us through an understanding of Highland Whiskey and not just its relationships to Edinburgh and Glasgow, but to other parts of the world. We learned how to look like proper whiskey aficionados, and check the “legs” on whiskey. I wish I remembered our guides name, he introduced himself at the start, then we were off to whiskey land. It was also pretty exclusive, just us and one other couple actually went into the close, so we all felt comfortable asking questions and sharing stories as we went. Just a very good time.
