The Perfect Blend<\/em> is a unique whisky tasting experience in the heart of Edinburgh\u2019s Old Town. Combining Scotland\u2019s most iconic exports, history and whisky<\/strong>, this tour will take guests back in time as they uncover Edinburgh\u2019s incredible hidden history whilst getting to grips with the national drink.<\/p>\n

Guests will enjoy five drams<\/strong> of whisky: a grain, a blend, a malt, a sherry cask matured and a peaty whisky. Each one has been specially selected to highlight the diverse nature of Scottish whisky. The tour, as well as taking guests on a journey through history, will provide an insight into the varieties of whisky available in Scotland<\/strong>; why they are different and how the flavours have been shaped by the methods involved in their production. As guests savour a peaty dram, they may find themselves transported to the west coast of Scotland or they may find themselves doing the work of a noser as they try to work out the different components of a blend.<\/p>\n

Each nip of whisky will be accompanied by a sample of award winning organic craft chocolate<\/strong> from local suppliers, Chocolate Tree<\/a>.\u00a0 Guests will be able to taste how this combination of flavours works together to enhance the subtle nuances of each specially selected whisky. From Madagascan Sambirano 72% dark chocolate to sea salt and caramel, each craft chocolate has been chosen to bring out the individuality of the whiskies<\/strong>. As the chocolate and the whisky combine, guests will be able to experience the flavours transform on their palate.<\/p>\n
