The whisky option includes four malt whiskies; a no-whisky option is also listed, and extra drinks cost more. 5 from 32 reviews at €14 per person for 1h 30m. ## Overview The Mountebank Whisky Tasting is the only whisky tasting experience led by a professional, award winning stand-up comedian (and his trusty sidekick, Scotland's best dog, Brahan). Mountebank is hysterical, historical and completely original! Your guide Daniel will demonstrate his passion for whisky and Scottish history while poking fun at you, him, Scotland and all things whisky related! ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please arrive at The Stand Comedy Club… - Starts 13:30, 15:00, 15:15: 3 departures a day - Age 18+: minimum age to join ## Key facts - Price: from €14 per person for the No Whisky Option option; other options up to €48 - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 5.0/5 from 32 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Mountebank Scotland ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | No Whisky Option | €14 / person | English | - | | Mountebank Whisky Tasting | €48 / person | English | Whisky Tasting | ## What's included - Licensed Guide - A flight of four malt whiskies from across Scotland ## Not included - Your ticket includes four whiskies only, extra beverages must be purchased separately - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 13:30, 15:00, 15:15 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-01 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Please arrive at The Stand Comedy Club on York Place in time for your whisky tasting beginning (3pm Thursdays and Fridays, 1.30pm Saturdays) Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJc-9yAI7Hh0gRBHTVL5vgWHM ## Good to know - Service animals allowed - Public transportation options are available nearby - Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness ## Compared with other Whisky Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #6 of 26** | €14 | 1h 30m | 5.0 (32) | shared | | [Stirling, Highlands & Distillery in Spanish](/uk/edinburgh/tours/stirling-highlands-distillery-in-spanish/?format=md) | €77 | 12h | 4.98 (405) | shared | | [Scotch Whisky Tasting & Stories — Bespoke Whisky Lounge](/uk/edinburgh/tours/scotch-whisky-tasting-stories-bespoke-whisky-lounge/?format=md) | €21 | 2h | 4.94 (1008) | shared | | [4 Day Islay Whisky Tour from Edinburgh](/uk/edinburgh/tours/4-day-islay-whisky-tour-from-edinburgh/?format=md) | €1302 | 4 days | 4.98 (172) | shared | Ranked #6 of 26 in Whisky Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
