Partnerships
For a small business like Whisky Edinburgh, it’s great to have supportive friends. So, we have teamed up with a handful of local legends.
Destiny Scotland, have you covered with all your accommodation needs with stylish, character filled apartments across the city. And if you want to explore Edinburgh stories by foot, look no further than Edinburgh Guided Tour to show you around the streets & hidden corners.
But if you wish to escape Edinburgh’s charms, and seek out those iconic landmarks, hidden gems or treat yourself with an immersive whisky journey through the renowned whisky regions. Highland Experience Tours and Scottish Routes with award winning guides, expertly crafted itineraries and 20 years of experience are the people to make your dreams a reality.
Great whisky, great places, great people — it all goes hand in hand.
Destiny Scotland
Stay in style with Destiny Scotland who have a collection of beautifully converted Edinburgh buildings where modern comfort meets historic character for you to enjoy. Their apartments capture the city’s charm with effortless elegance, offering guests a refined, relaxed base for exploring Scotland’s capital. Reliable, thoughtful, and quietly luxurious — it’s accommodation with the same care and attention we value in every dram!
Highland Experience Tours
Although Edinburgh is a special city, we know there’s so much more to see. That’s why we recommend Highland Experience Tours — a family owned Scottish tour company that shares our love of great stories, warm hospitality and showing visitors the real Scotland. They offer award winning day trips, multi day adventures and private tours that explore the lowlands, the highlands and everything in between.
Departing from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, their tours are expertly crafted and led by award winning guides who bring Scotland’s landscapes, history and culture to life with knowledge, care and genuine Highland hospitality. And, just like us, they know a thing or two about whisky — so they will know where to find a good dram along the way!
Whisky Capital Inn
In the heart of Dufftown, Whisky Capital Inn offers a welcoming base for exploring Speyside. Combining comfortable accommodation, a relaxed restaurant and an exceptional whisky bar, it brings together everything we value in Highland hospitality. Warm, characterful and unpretentious, it is the ideal place to unwind after a day among the region’s distilleries — preferably with a good dram in hand.
Edinburgh Guided Tour
Although whisky is our passion, we know Edinburgh has so much more to offer. That’s why we are proud to recommend Edinburgh Guided Tour, whose expert historians and experienced guides lead some of the city’s finest small-group and private walking tours.
Edinburgh Guided Tour also has a special family connection to the city’s whisky heritage: founder Stuart Usher and his son, Richard Usher, are descendants of the historic Usher family, whose name is associated with Andrew Usher, often known as the Father of blended Scotch whisky, and Sir John Usher, the “Whisky King”. The family’s civic legacy includes gifting the Usher Hall to the people and City of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh’s Usher Institute of Public Health.
Their tours are a wonderful way to explore Edinburgh’s stories, streets and hidden corners before your whisky tasting!
Scottish Routes
We enjoy our whisky, so it’s a pleasure to partner with Scottish Routes — a family owned Scottish tour company specialising in small group and bespoke whisky tours across the country, taking you right to the source! With over 20 years of experience, they craft immersive journeys with the same warmth and care as we bring to our tastings. From Speyside, to Islay, Campbeltown and the Highlands, they blend exceptional distillery visits with Scotland’s spectacular scenery, rich history and vibrant culture.
Their itineraries showcase iconic distilleries, hidden gems and the people and stories behind every dram — with transport, accommodation and planning all taken care of, you can simply relax and enjoy.
