Opening reception
Whisky Tasting
Start your visit to Scotland as you mean to go on, by signing up to join our whisky tasting session at the Opening Reception! You can sign up for $10 USD per person when you register for the congress. The tasting session will consist of four whisky stations manned by knowledgeable and passionate members of The Scotch Whisky Experience. At each station we have a different single malt Scotch whisky, chosen to represent regional differences, wood finishes, differing ages of maturation and methods of production.
The tasting begins with an introduction on how to appreciate whisky by examining the colour, body, nose, palate, and finish. The whisky expert will also describe each of the whiskies and offer a little bit of the background of each. Delegates are then free to nose and taste each of the three Scotch whiskies at their leisure, with informal instruction from each of our whisky experts.
There will be an aroma quiz at each of the tables, and a prize will be awarded to the best nose!
Join us for a morning run!
Challenge yourself by tackling Edinburgh’s many hills and steps during a group led run each morning of the congress. Our volunteer group leaders will have routes planned out so that you can take in the view whilst keeping active.
