| They have this in the Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. For all the times i have been in Edinburgh i have never gone into the Whisky Experience as i have always thought it was for tourists and wouldnt really be of much interest to me but i wouldnt mind seeing this collection |

The wife of one of my colleagues runs Amber restaurant in the Whisky Experience. He promised he'd get me staff discounts on bottles of malt but he's yet to deliver!

Yeah it is a bit for tourists but to see the collection IS worth it. Plus the extra malts you can get at the bar and amber restaurant are pretty impressive too

| I was in the Whisky Experience a few years ago, it is touristy and there shop wasnt cheap but i didnt expect it to be given its location. I would certainly go again if in Edinburgh just have a look at the huge collection. |

That's a very good point. I keep all my boxes and sleeves and they do take up loads of room.The boxes not only have collector value, personal or financial but also protect the Scotch from light.

Perhaps they have another room with the the biggest collection of whisky boxes and tubes in the world. |
