Evolution of Gin and Underground Gin Tasting in Edinburgh | 1hr
More than just a gin tasting - this is about the Evolution of Gin! On this experience you'll follow the journey of gin from its origins to the modern spirit we know and love. Your guide will lead you through the different flavours, explain the history of gin, and suggest which mixers to add to the (4) gins you will sample - the mixing is left up to you so you can have it as strong or as delicate as you'd like! Held in The Lost Close, this is an area of Edinburgh that was buried underneath the old prison building until it was uncovered in 2018, a space that only we have access to, and there's nowhere else like it in the city!

Visita guiada al Castillo de Edimburgo con Entradas incluidas
La atracción más visitada de Escocia fue también el escenario de su historia. Pueblos y personajes como los celtas o los romanos, Robert the Bruce, William Wallace o la corte de María Estuardo fueron partícipes de dicha historia; por otra parte, las joyas de los Honores de Escocia y la Piedra del Destino se encuentran también entre sus murallas, además de contar con museos dedicados al ejército y la actividad militar en el Reino Unido. Este castillo fue construido sobre un volcán y la vida empezó a crecer alrededor de él aproximadamente en el 900 a.C, y a partir del 600 d.C. apareció la primera fortaleza. La madera, por tanto, se convirtió en piedra, en refugio de reyes y en principal objetivo de los ingleses. Desde el último asedio jacobita en 1745, esta fortificación abandonó las funciones defensivas para convertirse en un símbolo nacional que recibe hoy en día a más de un millón de visitantes cada año.
