The Johnnie Walker Experience

This was hands down one of the funnest experiences on our travels from the U.S. We did not know what to expect, but we definitely were not expecting a side theatre show. Incredible! The cocktail crafting and tasting was perfect and our guide Nick, was very knowledgeable and patient. His humor and banter added to the experience and this is a must do for your travels to Edinburgh! We will be returning! Thanks Nick and team!

The Johnnie Walker Princes Street experience is a high tech whiskey novices experience. The tour itself is a fun, high-tech journey that brings the story of Johnnie Walker to life. Would love a more local hard to understand Scottish accent but the hosts enthusiasm and high energy was appreciated. The use of incredible technology, from multi-sensory rooms to engaging visual displays, makes the history and art of whiskey making feel modern and immersive. The entire experience is well-organized and a lot of fun. But the perfect way to cap it all off is definitely by booking a table at the incredible sky bar.

Despite not even being much of a Scotch whisky drinker, I thoroughly enjoyed the Johnnie Walker Experience tour at this location. They even sent me a flavor profile survey prior to the Experience to find out what I might like and then customized drinks based on that. The overall tour is really interesting and colorful. As others have said, this is really storytelling at its finest as you progress through different rooms and learn the many facets of Johnnie Walker's production techniques, history, and evolution. The tour guide even told us that the visuals were designed by someone who had previously done work for Disney (and it does have that "magical" feeling to it). There were moments I felt like I was walking through an art installation where you get served a few drinks. This tour was very well done and I was impressed. The gift shop has some nice takeaways too including some items (flasks, etc.) that can be customized on the spot to commemorate your visit. The staff and tour performers were all top notch.

What an incredible experience at the Johnnie Walker tasting on Princes Street! The opening show was pure magic!!! Ronna absolutely blew us away, it would be worth it just for that alone! Our guide, Archie, was exceptional: knowledgeable, funny, and kept the whole group engaged the entire time. We each got 3 full drinks, which was such a great deal and far more generous than any other tastings we’ve done before. The whiskies were all unique and delicious, making this the best tasting experience we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

This is a top notch tour of Johnnie Walker on Princess Street. This whiskey tasting tour was combined with visual and audio sensory of explaining the birth of this amazing product. It was presented in an animated exceptional way. In the early 1800s, Johnnie Walker used his inheritance money to open a grocery store. His creative side allowed him to blend single malts with high quality whiskey…..hence the delicious whiskey we drink today.

I booked the experienced for my boyfriend for his birthday and we both absolutely loved it! Our tour guide Ben was awesome and made the experience really enjoyable!, We enjoyed learning more about Johnnie Walker and enjoying all of the drinks customised to our likes! Followed by shopping in the store, Scott was excellent and helpful! We then went to the roof top bar after which was lovely! 10/10 would recommend!

Had so much fun tasting whisky and learning about the various types! My husband and I booked the Whisky Explorers at the Explorers' Bothy tasting. We’re not really whisky drinkers and still really enjoyed the experience. Antoin was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tasting was in a chill comfortable setting. The pacing of the tastings was also perfect. Overall a fantastic experience and must do while in Scotland!

Visiting Johnnie Walker Princes Street was one of the best highlights of my trip to Scotland. It was an immersive, modern experience that combines tradition with storytelling in such a sleek and engaging way. The tour was incredibly well-organized and interactive. I loved how they tailored the tasting to my flavor profile using a short quiz at the start. It gave a personalized touch to the whole experience. The visit was both educational and fun. The views from the rooftop bar are stunning—overlooking Edinburgh Castle and the city skyline—and the cocktails up there were absolutely top-notch. It’s a great place to relax after the tour. I would say even if you do not prefer drinks, this place is a must visit for the experience.
