Whisky Tasting Dates

All of the Jolly Toper’s whisky tastings normally take place on Thursday nights from 7:30pm until approximately 10pm at either The Tolbooth Tavern or The Kelderkin, both in the , F Canongate, Royal Mile, Edinburgh, meals available up to the time of the tastings.

P/O/U/R/S = Peaty, Old, Unusual, Rare and Sherry cask matured. Recently many people have requested the exact nature of the line up at the ‘pours’ tastings remain secret so a proper ‘blind’ tasting can be held. However I understand some people would be more comfortable knowing which drams were to be tasted before commiting to attending. If this is the case get in touch and I can let you know- providing they have been already arranged of course

* = £3 discount for first timers and members. Membership costs £10 for 13 months.
