Presented by Cask and Vine and Skene Dhu, this guided whisky tasting takes place beneath Edinburgh's historic streets and traces the city's deep connection to Scotch whisky. The journey runs from early aqua vitae and smuggling routes through to the rise of merchant houses and global trade. Along the way, guests discover the revival of the Victorian-era Skene Dhu brand, first patented in 1905 and now reborn with distinctive bottlings. A curated selection of Scotch whiskies from across Scotland's regions is tasted throughout.
