scotland is known for its whisky, and i enjoyed the “scotch whisky experience” in edinburgh. it starts as a ride in which you sit in a large replica of a whisky barrel on a moving track, during which the production stages of whisky are explained. they then take you on a virtual flyover tour of the 5 distinct whisky-producing regions of scotland, and what makes the whisky from these regions unique. there is then a tasting of the different varieties of scotch (my favorite are the peatiest), in a room surrounded by glass cabinets containing the world’s largest collection of scotch whisky.
