Celebrate
Whisky Month this May in Edinburgh with
The Real Mary King’s Close ‘Cask Is
King’ tour.
This coming May, to celebrate Whisky
month, historic Edinburgh attraction The
Real Mary King’s Close is launching
‘Cask Is King’, an exciting new
experience for the budding whisky
connoisseur.
Every Thursday evening this May a
limited number of guests will be guided
through the dark streets of he Real Mary
King’s Close where they will enjoy a
dram with a difference. From the humble beginnings
of brewing ale to whisky and its many
medicinal uses through to global
appreciation, this bespoke tour tells
the story of whisky you never knew.
Throughout the journey you will enjoy an
authentic historical experience which
will take you beyond books and bus
tours, including 3 samples and stories
from the experts, topping off the
evening with a whisky cocktail which has
been created especially for The Real
Mary King’s Close!
The tour combines Scotland’s best known exports
of whisky and history, this specialist
tour blends two must do experiences;
whisky tasting and our capital’s
fascinating history. Guests will travel
back in time through the underground
closes of Mary King’s Close as they
uncover the incredible story of not only
Edinburgh but also Scotland’s national
drink.
The tour will also see the launch of The
Real Mary King’s Close blend. Bottled at
40% ABV, they tell me that this
exclusive expression is mellow on the
nose with a well-integrated aroma and a
fruity top note. The taste is smooth
with a citric note and a thread of smoke
and butterscotch, with a spicy warming
finish. Presented in a bespoke bottle
which is decorated with The Real Mary
King’s Close tartan, the malt is
available in 50ml and 200ml, retailing
at £5.95 and £18.50 respectively. A
great souvenir for
anyone visiting Edinburgh or a treat for
whisky fans.
