Drinking Scotch Whisky in Edinburgh, Scotland

For a fun afternoon in Edinburgh we joined our friend Rob of Stop Having a Boring Life ( to visit the Scotch Whisky Experience. Inside we met a guide who explained to us the history of whisky and brought us to the blenders room where we had the opportunity to create our own whisky blend. First we learned about the different aromas you can smell from whiskey. We both only got 2 out of 10 correct! Next, was on to the blending where Audrey created her Bergner Blend and I came up with Sam I Am Shazzam. We then moved on to the biggest Scotch Whisky collection in the world with over three thousand bottles on display! It is definitely an experience we'd highly recommend.

Drinking Scotch Whisky in Edinburgh, Scotland Travel Food Video Transcript:

So I'm really excited right now. It is a little bit chilly here in Edinburgh. It is the fall and I forgot to wear my jacket so another way for me to warm up is to drink some whisky. So we're going to go do a cool whiskey tour and I can't wait for it to go down my belly and warm me up out here. Great excuse to drink whisky Sam. Let's go.

So we have arrived at the Scotch Whisky Experience. Yes, and we are in the Blender's Room and if you look at this table it is all set to do some blending. Yes, and sampling.

So before we begin we're going to do a sensory perception test. And they're going to pass around ten different aromas found in whiskey and we have to try and identify those. And this is number nine. Let's see how well we do.

So none of these things I'm about to mention to you are added to whisky. But through the process of producing the alcohol you get lots and lots of different aromas and characteristics that just come naturally from those three basic ingredients.

What do you think that is?

They're all mystery aromas.

It kind of smells like butterscotch smell. That is very sweet. It has a nice sweet aroma.

So I came up with medicine, marzipan, sugarcane, candy, books in an attic, butter, peaches, vinegar, vick's vapor rub and poison. Those are my ten.

So my score was 2 out of 10. How did you do?

Okay, so now it is time for the fun part. What are we doing? Now here comes the science. We get to make our own personal blend. Name of my blend. Sam 'I' Am Shazzam. The blender. Sir Samuel George of Alexander. The date bottled September 23, 2016 and I'm going with 60% grain and 15% speyside because that is going to give it a smokey, strong and sophisticated taste much like its creator.

So we're going to get the expert to decide who created the best blend. With a blind test. Yes.

This one is a little bit. I think it is little bit confused.

Okay. This is quite fresh, quite fruity. Yeah, I'm liking this one. I think this is the leader at the moment.

Okay, it is quite caramel in that.

I think, I think, I think.

Yep, this is it. Number two for the win?

And whose was that? Which one is the worst?

The Bergner Blend! Oh!

But to be fair you helped me create mine. You did all of the work. Hahaha.

And which one is the worst?

The one that definitely is still fighting a little bit and the flavors need to come together I think is number one. Yeah, this one.

Dun, dun dun.

Hahahaha.

Oh well, Roberto.

You can't win them all.

So we've sampled whisky, we've created our own blend and now it is time to check out the world's biggest stash and believe me it is a huge stash.

So this is the world's biggest collection of Scotch Whisky. And it just keeps going and going and going. So they have three thousand, three hundred and eighty four bottles in here. It is a maze of Scotch Whiskey.

So that was a really fun experience. We drank whiskey, we created our own blends. We visited the biggest Scotch whisky collection. What did you think? Yeah, I mean what more could you do. What did you think? I think it was incredible and a really nice way to pass an afternoon.

This is part of our Travel in Scotland video series showcasing Scottish food, Scottish culture and Scottish cuisine.

9. Close of Benromach organic whisky bottle
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Keith Cruckshank, Benromach distillery manager:
What makes a good whisky. Firstly you need a good traditional way of making whisky. You need experience you also need good natural ingredients like any good product. You also need good management and a good cask to mature the whisky in. And lastly you need time to mellow and mature a whisky into malt whisky.
11. Close of fermenting barrel at distillery
12. Close of distils
13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Neil Uqhuart, Benromach whisky manager
There are some organic blends available on the market but we are the first totally organic single malt whisky which we have produced at Benromach. So the water supply the bottling hall the production the yeast the casks and obviously the malt barley most importantly the entire process is certified by the Soil Association. Maybe in future years more will appear but we have managed to produce the first.
14. Various of whisky
15. Wide of whisky barrels in ware house
16. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ewan Macintosh, Benromach whisky manager
A good whisky will vary from person to person but really for us what we are looking for is balance. We want a whisky which is going to have a number of flavours and aroma which together will compliment and bring out the style and characteristic from the distillery.
17. Various of coopers building whisky barrels
18. SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry taylor Head cooper, Speyside Cooperage
The cask it self will influence 60 - 70 percent of the final flavour of the whisky. With benromachs organic whisky it uses the characteristics of the new wood so its taking the big hits of flavour and colour out of the new wood and that's what will give it its distinct characteristics colour and flavour.
19. Garry burning organic oak barrels for taste
20. Various of coopers building barrels
21. Various of customers
22. Set up of 'Whisky shop owner and whisky critic George Crawford
23. SOUNDBITE: (English) George Crawford, Whisky shop owner and whisky critic
You know i have tried it myself and i really enjoy it. Its quite a young whisky but its good to see young whiskey's getting to the forefront in the industry. As with the organic its an interesting thing to be able to experiment with in whisky and have the facilities to do different things. So i think its a good thing obviously.
24. SOUNDBITE: (English) Vox Pop, Bill Gibson, California, US:
I really enjoy it, it has good malting to it.
25. SOUNDBITE: (English) Vox Pop,(No Name available) :
I am not sure i think it will taste like ordinary whisky .

It originated just in the whisky industry in the distilleries and the warehousing and also when the used to take barrels of the lorries into the whisky warehouses, that's probably were it originated from.

Whisky Sampling in Edinburgh - Around the World in 80 Drinks Discovers Whisky!

Whisky? Whiskey? Scotch Whisky? Rye? What's the difference?

Scotch Whisky, Rye and Bourbon are all 'whiskies' but each will be derived from a different grain or grains. Scotch Whisky is malt barley and the most important element for Scotch to be Scotch is to be aged and distilled in Scotland. Aged in any other climate will change the culture and the flavour.

Whisky Tasting in Edinburgh, Scotland - In this edition of 'Around the World in 80 Drinks' we go to Edinburgh's Grassmarket and sit down at The Last Drop Tavern to sample some of Scotland's Whiskies. The Last Drop Tavern is where criminals used to be given their 'last drop' of whisky before they were hung for their crimes right outside the tavern doors in the Grassmarket. We sampled a Glenkinchie whisky from the lowlands, a Glenmorangie from the highlands and a Lagavulin from the island of Islay. The Glenmorangie from the highlands was our clear favourite!
