Today is the first day of the ‘Whisky Bars of Edinburgh‘ project. For those of you who have not heard of this project, ten of the best whisky bars in Edinburgh have teamed up to promote their whiskies and the experiences they offer their customers. From today there will be themed experiences which visitors can sample throughout 2009 and around the city. Chris Conway of ScotlandWhisky, the country’s whisky tourism initiative said “Edinburgh is rightly famous for its bars and ‘Whisky Bars of Edinburgh’ brings together ten fantastic examples of where visitors can enjoy a dram in a traditional setting”. Every bar offers their own unique whisky experience and every employee has passed the Scottish whisky training school. A few of the bars taking part include Albannach on the Royal Mile, Whiski on Edinburgh High Street and Stockbridge Tap on Raeburn Place. The ‘Whisky Bars of Edinburgh’ project will also be an important part of Homecoming Scotland 2009 to celebrate the 250th birthday of Robert Burns. Now that’s what I call an offer I can’t refuse!
