Scotch Whisky Flight · Edinburgh
A comparative tasting of Scotch whiskies across the five regions: Lowland, Highland, Speyside, Islay and Campbeltown. The defining Edinburgh ritual, with The Bow Bar's 400-plus single-malt list as the benchmark.
Scotch whisky has been distilled since 1494 when the Exchequer Rolls of the Scottish king record 'eight bolls of malt to Friar John Cor, by which to make aqua vitae'. The five-region classification became codified in the early 20th century with the Royal Commission on Whisky. Edinburgh's whisky bars (The Bow Bar, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society) and The Scotch Whisky Experience on Castlehill offer comparative regional tastings.
