Spanish Whisky Tasting in Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Hello my name is Javier Molina from Mexico, we had a tasting with Marco and it was excellent, we did not know anything about the subject and we were taking a guide to go I learn to appreciate the process, the history and everything clearly and cp as he comments on his slogan, without pretences, the testers of exquisite whiskies and as added value in Spanish, wonderful experience

Whisky A Go-Go in Edinburgh

This was a fun tour given by the wonderful guide and whisky aficionado, “Marco”. I was excited to learn about the history and process involved in the making of whisky, especially since I am a newbie to it and my libation of choice is typically gin or vodka. The tastings were just the right amount and all distinctly different. The only reason I gave 4 stars out of 5 was the time of the event was less than ideal. Being at a pub at 17:30 on a Friday when everyone else is there after work made for a loud and crowded venue. It was hard to hear Marco despite his best efforts to project his enthusiastic voice over the commotion inside. The tour would’ve been perfect if it was offered earlier in the afternoon.

100% recommended experience

100% recommended experience! We loved both the way he told the whole story of whiskey and the way he took the tasting. We did it with Fernando M., who is wonderful and we had a great time.

An unforgettable experience

We loved the experience, we were three people, one of us is not a whiskey drinker but also did the tasting and has come out delighted. We have learned many things that we were unaware of about its preparation, history and categories of this drink. Thank Maria who made our demonstration enjoyable, entertaining and very interesting.
