You will be consuming approximately five to six units of alcohol over the course of the two hour tour. In some of the venues you will be served a food accompaniment however this is not meant to be a substantial meal. We recommend you have breakfast and lunch before the walking tour, so you are energised for afternoon and don’t consume alcohol on an empty stomach. Please note this is not a pub crawl or drinking challenge but a tour to learn about and enjoy Scotch whisky. We will not chaperon inebriated individuals and our tour guides and/or bar personnel have the right to refuse entry to any of the venues or remove guests from the walking tour without refund.

The walking tour takes you from The East End of the New Townand finishes in the Old Town. We will walk approximately 1.8 miles/3 kilometres. Most sections of the scenic and informative walk take no more than 15 to 20 minutes between venues.

As this tour involves the consumption of alcohol and visiting license premises, attendees must be 18 years or older. If you look 25 or younger our tour guides or venue staff may ask for a valid form of photo ID. If an attendee fails a Challenge 25 ID check we hold the right to refuse access to the tour and tasting without refund.
