For the Love of Scotch Whisky
The Water of Life!
Whisky, or uisge beatha (the "water of life"), is at the heart of Scotland’s heritage, with over 140 distilleries spread across five whisky regions - Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown. Each region produces whisky with distinct characteristics, from peaty and smoky to smooth and floral. Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, is also home to excellent whisky experiences, where visitors can learn about the craft and sample some of the finest drams.
Whether setting off on a whisky trail through Scotland’s stunning landscapes or enjoying an expert-led tasting in the heart of the city, there’s a dram for everyone to savour.
