Highlights
  • Little Fish Tours - This tour meets just off the iconic Royal Mile at our personal, custom made, whisky venue.

We have the entire downstairs of the bar reserved for us, giving us plenty of space and privacy to conduct our story orientated evening.

Over the next two hours we will drink four outstanding Single Malt Scotch Whiskies taken from the four major whisky producing regions of Scotland. These whiskies will range from the relatively delicate and subtle flavours of the Lowlands to the bold and robust tastes from Islay.

Scotland has a deep routed story telling tradition which centres around the idea of people coming together, sharing good times, good stories and good whisky with each other. The role of the story tellers was a highly respected position to hold in ancient Scotland.

During this tour we are going to revive some of that storytelling tradition and explore the significance of whisky to the Scottish identity whilst tying in some great tales taken from across Scotland.

Fantastic way to spend a couple of hours! - Excellent experience, Naomi was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and the whiskies chosen were ideal...something for both the novice and the more experienced whisky drinker. The time flew by as we were enjoying ourselves so much and learnt loads. I would totally recommend this experience to others!

Good stories and good whiskies - Euan's stories are so much fun (Though one of them has a very long punch line and took a while to get to) and we enjoyed the whiskies - he was knowledgeable and very good at describing the smell and taste of a whisky for those who are not familiar.

Georgia was phenomenal!... - Georgia was phenomenal! She's a very charismatic storyteller and very knowledgeable about scotch. I would highly recommend this for anyone who even has a passing interest in whisky and especially for anyone who fancies themselves a connoisseur.
