The Scotch Whisky Experience was opened in 1988, when 19 individual Scotch whisky companies jointly invested £2m to create a showcase for the Scotch
whisky industry.
In 2023 an investment of £3.5m created a dramatic new addition to the tour experience taking visitors from the origins of Scotch, through production to the magic of maturation, seen like never before, from inside the cask itself.
An interactive exhibition, not a working distillery, The Scotch Whisky Experience represents the Scotch whisky distillers’ companies, making it the ideal first stop for visitors keen to learn more about our national drink.
Different tour experiences are offered depending upon level of interest and expertise – ranging from the “Silver
Tour” through to the luxury evening “Platinum Tour”.
The “Tasting Tales” and “Taste of Scotland” experiences offer a Scottish blend of whisky and cuisine showcasing
Scotland’s wonderful larder matched with Scotch whiskies.
Amber Restaurant and Whisky Bar provides sumptuous and modern Scottish cuisine in a stylish relaxed
environment.
The Scotch Whisky Experience has many events spaces, perfect for corporate events, private celebrations, weddings, and of course, whisky tastings.
