Mobile ticket
This Whiskywheels tour is fantastic for those wishing to sample what the Edinburgh whisky distilleries and tasting venues have to offer.
Delicate and fruity, with a kick, these drams are some of the most well sought after in the whisky industry:
1. Glenkinchie Distillery is a single malt whisky distillery in East Lothian, Scotland. The best distillery tour in the Lowland region and one of the best in the country.
2. The Malt Whisky Society was formed in 1983 by a group of unconventional ‘water of life’ experts. The society exists to present their selected single cask whisky in its purest form.
3. Our final stop for your Edinburgh whisky tour is the newly built Holyrood distillery. Holyrood is all about flavour.
Taste your way through our beautiful city, while learning the history and entertaining tales from local experts who know their whisky.
Half Day Tour includes one distillery Tour and Tasting and an optional drop off at the Malt Whisky Society for lunch.

5.00This was a great tour to learn about whisky making from two very different distilleries, as well as a great lunch and tasting at the Whisky Society. Euan did a great job planning the itinerary and was very helpful in communicating some driver changes. We will definitely do more tours with this company
Great one day whisky tasting tour

5.00Excellent full day whisky tour. Our guide/driver Euan was very knowledgeable. The ride out in the lowlands to Glenkinchie Distillery was beautiful - Glenkinchie Distillery is a must.
Excellent Service

5.00We had used WhiskyWheels in 2019 and were very glad to use them again in 2023. Euan picked us up in a luxury sedan and took us to the Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies, Stirling Castle and then to Deanston Distillery. He made lunch reservations for us at The Portcullis in Stirling. It was a great day. Everything was managed perfectly. The Deanston tasting was the highlight. Euan arranged for a private tasting which was excellent!
