Scottish Conservative leader and MSP Ruth Davidson visited the Scotch Whisky Experience 9 May to kick off the venue and attraction’s 30th birthday celebrations. She was presented with a commemorative 30th birthday bottling of a special blend (possibly to wet the baby’s head on arrival!).
Since opening in 1988, the five-star Royal Mile attraction, which sits right in the middle of Davidson’s constituency, has welcomed 6.8m whisky fans through its doors.
Susan Morrison, director and general manager at The Scotch Whisky Experience, said: “This is a huge milestone for us at SWE and we wanted to do something truly special to commemorate.
“We pride ourselves on providing a unique experience for all our guests, whether it’s a whisky tasting or blending session, or an intimate private dining experience and we have had a huge amount of success over the past three decades.”
Since 2009, the Scotch Whisky Experience has undergone £8m worth of upgrades across all departments, which has included incorporating the priceless Diageo Claive Vidiz Scotch Whisky Collection – 3,384 historic bottles of whisky glowing within a marble and glass vault.
