      Amazing whiskey tasting experience

      arkav1, May 2026
      What a great experience. I have not done an official whiskey tasting but this was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the 4 regions and types of whiskey and a nice final option to go with a second peaty whiskey. Very entertaining and great vibe for a bunch of newbie whiskey drinkers. The venue was super cool as well and great history. I would definitely recommend this whiskey tasting.

      Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that our storytellers helped bring Scotland’s whisky regions to life in an engaging and welcoming way, especially for those new to tasting. It’s wonderful to know the atmosphere of our underground space and its history added to the sense of discovery. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another journey through Edinburgh’s past and present. Slàinte, The Lost Close Team
