Happy New Year BONUS Episode | The Distillers' Fair at The Scotch Whisky Experience

Happy New Year from the Whisky Stories Podcast! On the 29th Dec, Graeme and Angus visited The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh to try their new immersive whisky tour which finished with the annual Distillers' Fair. The tour was great fun and very insightful. Lots of information about the production of whisky, the regions and the differences between single malt and blended whisky. We took the Silver Tour which lasted about 50 mins with a tour guide taking us through the building into different rooms which had multi audio and visual equipment to make the tour very immersive and engaging. Usually the tour ends in the famous The Diageo Claive Vidiz Whisky Collection. As you walk through this incredible room full of nearly 4,000 bottles of whisky, you get drawn into looking at all the different types and brands of bottles in this amazing collection. Thankfully, the Distillers' Fair was an added bonus and we were treated to around 12 different stalls which were all showcasing some great whiskies from around Scotland. We enjoyed chatting to the exhibitors while we sipped some generous samples that were on offer. This was our first Whisky Stories Podcast 'school trip' and we loved it. We hope all of our listeners have a happy and healthy New Year in 2024!
