Wonderfully knowledgeable guide with clever humor. Good location to fit in with other attractions and shopping on the royal mile. Neat underground setting. Just a short tasting with four varied and interesting whiskies.
We had Haley on our tour and she was excellent! They are very knowledgeable about everything about Scotch, and very funny! Definitely the highlight of our trip to Edinburgh so far. If you’re a fan of whisky, or even willing to try something new, you should take the tour!
A hidden gem and a truly unique experience in an underground setting. Our hostess was incredibly knowledgeable about the whiskies, explaining the distillation process as well as the different regions each one came from. Her passion and expertise made the tasting even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience!

As it turned out, we were the only two booked on for this session, but our guide was excellent and gave us his full attention. Personal preferences were taken into account and we were given a comprehensive walk through all the main whisky regions, with a tasting for each one, as well as a potted history of the Close itself. Very interesting, enjoyable. Well recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful review.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another dram and discovery soon. Slainte, The Lost Close Team

Had a nice and intimate experience. You meet outside a restaurant, and go down the stairs to an underground vault, which is famous in Edinburgh. There's the little welcome room, and then there's the tasting room. The host, Mark, was funny, knowledgeable, and very nice through the whole process. He made sure the seating set up was nice, comfortable, and accommodated everyone without crowding.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the unique atmosphere of The Lost Close and that Mark helped create a comfortable and welcoming environment for your tasting. Our storytellers take great pride in combining knowledge, hospitality, and a touch of humour to make each visit memorable, so it's wonderful to know that shone through during your session. We hope you'll join us again soon to uncover more hidden history and enjoy another dram beneath the streets of Edinburgh. Slainte, The Lost Close Team
Great atmosphere in the underground vault. Good information and lovely whisky! Came away with a better appreciation of whisky and what I would consider when buying and drinking whisky in future. Very worthwhile experience. Note that some of our small group had selected the connoisseur experience and they had different whisky tasting. This was good as we were able to hear about different distilleries and other whisky.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that the experience helped deepen your appreciation of whisky and gave you more confidence in exploring different styles and distilleries. One of the joys of our tastings is showcasing the diversity of Scotland's whisky regions, and it's great to know that hearing about the different drams across your group added to the experience. We hope to welcome you back beneath the streets of Edinburgh for another memorable evening of whisky and storytelling. Slainte, The Lost Close Team
We booked this tour for a group of four and expected more from the experience. I wish we'd known beforehand that we would simply be sitting in a single cellar-type room for most of the tour. It was a pleasant experience overall, but it was really expensive for what was included. We recently did a whisky tour in Glasgow for half the price, and it even included a souvenir glass to keep. Overall, it was enjoyable, but I don't feel it offered good value for the money.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience didn't fully meet your expectations, particularly regarding the format of the tasting and the value you felt it offered. Our whisky tastings are designed as seated experiences within our historic underground vaults, where the focus is on storytelling, guided tastings, and the unique atmosphere of the space, but we appreciate that this may not suit everyone's expectations. We'd be grateful if you could contact us at info@thelostclose.com so we can learn more about your visit and better understand your feedback. Slainte, The Lost Close Team
Really good experience, super nice for us who have not drank with whisky before, good guidance and mood
For the same price as a fancy meal, my partner and I were given a tour through Scotland via whisky. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about whisky and Scottish history. The experience of trying whisky carefully selected in a hidden underground bar is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I would do this again, bring more friends, and try the next step in whisky tasting experiences. 100% recommend!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that the tasting felt like a journey across Scotland, brought to life through carefully selected drams, storytelling, and history. Creating an experience that combines exceptional whisky with the unique atmosphere of our hidden underground space is exactly what we're passionate about. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be thrilled to welcome you and your friends back to continue your whisky adventure with us. Slainte, The Lost Close Team
