Whether you’re a whisky connoisseur or novice, this unique experience at The Real Mary King’s Close is a great way to delve deeper into the fascinating history of whisky.

A warren of streets, homes and passageways, The Real Mary King’s Close is Edinburgh’s only preserved 17th century street. This unique experience begins with a 1-hour guided tour, offering an in-depth exploration of the history of whisky. Learn how Mary King’s Close was at the centre of the bustling alcohol trade that played a significant role in the area’s history.

After the tour, you’ll meet a whisky expert in an atmospheric underground vault for a 30 minute whisky-tasting session. Take in the aromas and savour the flavours of three distinct drams, including the signature Scottish blended whisky.

Tours take place on Fridays and Saturdays in September 2024, starting at 7pm and 8pm. This tour is available to those aged 18+
