5.00Aussie Dave - That Tour Guide with the Glasses was exceptional! He created an educational and FUN experience for us all that not only introduced us to the subtleties of drinking scotch, but shared a little bit of the history and lore of the making and drinking Scotch Whisky. He was entertaining and we all learned a few new things about Scotch and Scotland. I HIGHLY recommend this as a fantastic introduction to tasting whisky in Edinburgh!
Highly recommended experience

5.00It was a really excellent experience. Learned a lot about the making of scotch whiskey, what is or isn’t scotch whiskey and why, the history. It was a small group, only 4 people, which made it easier to ask questions and interact with the presenter. Really enjoyed it.
David was a great host...
