A wee nip of Scotch is a wonderful thing, warming the belly and tantalizing the taste buds, so it's no wonder that whisky is Scotland's most noted export. Visitors to Edinburgh who are curious to learn how Scotch whisky is made, or how many varieties can be found across the country, need only to drop by the Scotch Whisky Heritage Center, where experts lead tours and classes that explain every facet of this fascinating spirit. Learn the stories behind some of Scotland's most famous distillers, discover the secret to sublime Scotch (it has something to do with being aged in wooden barrels), and enjoy a tutored tasting of a single-malt whisky to help appreciate all the different flavors found in its complex profile. If you're really serious, you can enroll in Scotch Whisky Training School, a day-long immersion course that teaches everything from malt and grain whisky production to the art of blending. Plus, graduates of the course receive a Certificate of Expertise that's recognized by the Scotch Whisky Industry. The Scotch Whisky Experience is located on the Royal Mile, just minutes from the luxurious Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh.
