The Johnnie Walker Experience Entry Tickets Overview

Opened in 2021 in a magnificently transformed seven-storey building at 145 Princes Street, the Johnnie Walker Experience is one of Edinburgh's most celebrated and innovative visitor attractions. Set directly opposite Princes Street Gardens with Edinburgh Castle rising dramatically on its volcanic rock above, the building offers one of the most spectacular settings of any whisky attraction in Scotland and a visitor experience that has been rated five stars by Visit Scotland.

The flagship experience is the Signature Journey of Flavour, a 90-minute immersive tour that takes small groups through eight floors of interactive storytelling, live performances, and spectacular light shows to discover the heritage, craftsmanship, and flavour philosophy behind Johnnie Walker's iconic blends. Each visitor's journey is personalised to their individual flavour preferences, with the experience culminating in a curated whisky cocktail designed specifically for them. Beyond the signature tour, the experience offers a range of premium tastings including cask draw experiences, single malt masterclasses, luxury whisky and food pairings, and private events.

The rooftop 1820 Bar offers some of the most spectacular views of Edinburgh Castle available anywhere in the city, making it a wonderful destination in its own right whether or not you join a tour. The experience also includes an extensive retail area with exclusive bottlings, personalised label services, and the opportunity to fill your own bottle directly from casks. Book your Johnnie Walker Experience tickets now and explore the world of Scotland's most iconic whisky brand in the city where it all began.
