Cadenhead's, Royal Mile Tasting Programme
WHISKY TASTING PROGRAMME
All Wednesday/Thursday nights from 7.30pm until approximately 10pm, The Tollbooth Tavern, 167 Canongate, Royal Mile. Tickets : £17*/20 or when a mid-month tasting’s theme requires buying more expensive bottles the increase will be reflected proportionally in ticket price. At least 5 drams, cask strength being the preferred option when a choice is available. Refunds only possible if tasting not sold out or if ticket can be resold. The tastings aim to inform and entertain. The relaxed approach is still structured and many props are used so the tastes and smells of the various influences on production can be experienced first hand, for example there will be the opportunity to smell and/or taste both malted and un malted barley, yeast, grist and new make spirit. The tasting usually ends with a raffle where everybody wins a miniature’s worth of whisky left over from previous tastings, entry to the raffle is an additional £2 with any further donations being collected for World Vision’s ‘Sponsor a Child’ scheme
(we’ve collected more than £1000 to date).
