May is Whisky Month and to celebrate, The Real Mary King\u2019s Close<\/a> will be launching The Perfect Blend <\/em>a brand new whisky tasting experience in partnership with Royal Mile Whiskies<\/a>. <\/p>\n 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 <\/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 \u201cThis is a really exciting opportunity to work with local businesses to create a truly unique and Scottish event for Whisky Month.<\/em>\u201d Comments General Manager Craig Miller \u201cIt will be a chance for those who have visited the attraction before to come back and experience the Close<\/a> in a different way<\/strong> and it will also be a great event for those visiting the capital to tick off some of the must-do experiences when in Scotland: taste whisky and discover fascinating history.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Perfect Blend <\/em>will run throughout the month of May and tickets are now on sale.
