Smoke Stack

Everyone knows at least one person who likes nothing better than to sit back in a big, comfy chair and sip a nip of whisky.

Those people are amazingly easy to buy gifts for - as long as it’s dram-based, they’re delighted.

So why not go the extra mile this festive season by surprising them with a fantastic whisky tasting experience at Smoke Stack in Edinburgh?

With a talk, tastings and a chance to take away a blend made by their own fair hands, this is a five-star gift for a whisky fan.

More than just a whisky tasting

Today’s Big Deal offers a memorable whisky experience, available from January to April, in Smoke Stack Steakhouse & Bar in central Edinburgh, a five-minute walk from Waverley station.

The deal is available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Try quality malts and blend your own

Guests will be welcomed with an arrival wine or beer, followed by a half hour talk on the history of Scotland’s national drink.

Next, they will get to sample six quality single malt brands from each of the whisky regions. Then it’s on to a fun tasting and sniffing challenge, with a small prize for the winner.

Finally, they will get a chance to create their own unique blend in the ‘whisky lab’, which they can take away in a cute wee 50ml mini bottle with a personalised label and wax seal. Tea and coffee will be served before leaving.

Fantastic gift for whisky lovers

Want to give Santa a run for his money this year? Then treat the dram fan in your life to a first class whisky experience at Smoke Stack.

More than just a tasting, they will also get a chance to take home their own unique blend in a souvenir bottle. So why not surprise a whisky connoisseur with a truly five-star gift?
