    The scottish whiskey experience

    No, I’m not a big fan of whiskey, but when you bring the whiskey-loving husband to Edinburgh, there’s bound to be whiskey. And to be fair, its not just quite right beeing in Scotland and not going on a whiskey tour is there? So we ended up at the Scottish whiskey experience, located just before the Edinburgh Castle, in the old town. Beautiful building. You start out with a digital tour, sitting in a small whiskey barrel, where you get some information on how the scots make whiskey. Then there’s a tour guide/storyteller and a movie showing on all of the different districts in Scotland, like Highland, Speyside Islands, Lowlands,…

    Edinburgh

    Going to Edinburgh was not on my bucketlist, but seeing as impulsecontroll’s not my strong suit, I booked a trip for me and my husband last year.

Have you ever had sloe gin? It’s redonkulously tasty, and quite…
