We had a great time in the cellars tasting some wonderful Johnnie Walker blends. Rory was very knowledgeable on flavors. He addressed every single query directed to him.
Fun afternoon out

I have visited various distilleries in Scotland and I did not know what to expect - I knew it was only a city show-case. I was rather disappointed. The tour reminded me very much of Disneyland, no character.
great tour

Our visit to Johnnie Walker on Prince street in Edinburgh was nothing short of amazing. For the tour experience, Rachel our guide, was knowledgeable, thorough, and all around informative. The choreographed Johnnie Walker story was well done along with the tasting. As part of the experience you get to sample and create a drink based on your tasting profile. Once we were unleashed in the store Chris was the ultimate whisky sensei. His knowledge of whisky is unsurpassed and he really locked in on exactly what would make good selections for us. He respected budget and had an uncanny ability to discern exactly we wanted. His attention to detail and customer service quality couldn’t have been better. We got our bottles engraved, shipped, and bought merch. Everything was high quality. Bottom line, this is a must visit in Edinburgh. Even folks who don’t like whisky enjoyed this distillery and worth noting, they have good non-alcoholic options to accommodate a variety of preferences within a group.
Well worth a visit!
