Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, Whisky heritage center at Royal Mile, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The Scotch Whisky Experience occupies a former school building adjacent to Edinburgh Castle, featuring guided tours and extensive tasting sessions throughout its premises.

In 1987, nineteen Scotch whisky companies invested two million pounds to establish this educational center, which opened its doors in May 1988.

The center exhibits the Diageo Claive Vidiz Collection of 3,384 bottles, representing the depth of Scottish whisky production across different regions and generations.

The facility maintains daily operations from 10:00 AM to 6:20 PM, offering guided tours in fifteen languages with additional digital content in twenty languages.

The lower level houses the Amber Restaurant and Whisky Bar, presenting over 420 varieties of single malts, blends, and liqueurs for tasting.
