Excellent experience

Having already done the history tour with Daniel, we decided to sign up for the whisky tasting as well. It ended up just being the two of us, so it was almost like a private comedy show :-) We were delighted by both the whisky selection and by the stories that came with it. We have done a lot of tours and tastings but this is a one of a kind cultural experience that is rare to find. Avoid if you are super conservative or easily offended, but if you like a laugh and a drink, you‘ll be entertained.

Highly recommended - good time for all!

Daniel is entertaining, informative, and really knows his whisky and history. He is witty and charming and inclusive of his entire audience. The comedy made the whisky tasting enjoyable for our non drinker in the group. Daniel's dog makes the show extra special!

Whisky and Laughs and History ♥️

This was absolutely awesome! Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and Whisky and absolutely hilarious. I am only in Edinburgh for a day and wanted a way to learn about the culture while having a drink and a laugh all at the same time and this is it! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Whisky tasting, with a twist

Entertaining as always with Daniel. A fun whisky tasting for any level with the addition of a Fringe standard comedy show. Whiskies from 4 of the Scottish whisky regions are sampled accompanied by a description of how to get the best out of the flavours along with some gentle ribbing. If you haven’t been to a whisky tasting before try this one, if you have been to a whisky tasting before go anyway, it won’t have been as entertaing as this!

What’s not to like?

If you like whisky, history and comedy, I’d recommend Daniel’s 90 minute Comedy Whisky Tasting. Relaxed, informative, edgy (at times) and good fun. Nice range of whiskies to taste (four in total) and Daniel’s knowledge, humour and passion makes it an enjoyable experience regardless of the level of your whisky interest. I’ll be booking his Tour.

Must do in Edinburgh

If you like Whisky or Comedy or History then this is a must do tour. Daniel was a great comedian and brought the story of whisky alive. Plus some very generous measures! Photo is of glasses for two! Great audience interaction. Thanks again Daniel for a great afternoon.

Best Whisky tasting EVER

We had the privilege to have allready been on the walk with Daniel & now time for his tasting. We love our single malts & Daniel taught us a thing or two about tasting notes & some history also. Daniel also is a very funny comedian & also extremely knowledgeable in all things Whisky, Edinburgh & Scots history. It truly was a perfect end to a very good day. Do yourself a favour & get along. Brahan needs a pat 😉

Comedy & Whisky May Belong Together

This tour was both educational and funny - exactly what Daniel is going for, I suspect!! It was a great way to start our week in Scotland and get a bit of an introduction to whisky! Highly recommend for people that want to relax, laugh and learn a little in the process. We would definitely do this again. Thank you!!
