First glimpse of beautiful new Johnny Walker whisky experience in Edinburgh
The eagerly anticipated attraction will feature rooftop bars, private dining areas, modern sensory tasting rooms, personalised tour and tasting experiences, as well as live performance areas.
Johnnie Walker Princes Street has revealed a tantalising first-glimpse of the stunning new whisky visitor experience that will open in Edinburgh this summer.
The eagerly anticipated attraction will feature rooftop bars, private dining areas, modern sensory tasting rooms, personalised tour and tasting experiences, as well as live performance areas.
The interior of the landmark building, which has been under meticulous transformation over the past 18 months, has been kept a closely-guarded secret until today, with the release of select design renderings that give a tantalising taste of what is to come.
Above is the 1820 room, which Johnny Walker tell us is a world class cocktail bar and outdoor terrace with breath-taking views of the Edinburgh skyline, including its world famous castle. The perfect location to enjoy a morning coffee, meals and refreshments throughout the day or a beautifully crafted cocktail in the evening.
The Explorers’ Bothy is also part of the plan and at rooftop level, this stunning whisky bar will stock over 150 rare bottles and one-of-a-kind cask editions. The space features a signature centrepiece sculpture and original artwork from Scottish landscape artist, Scott Naismith.
Thirdly, the Johnnie Walker Label Studio will host a variety of live events and performances, and will become a fixture in Edinbugh’s thriving cultural life.
Barbara Smith, Managing Director of Diageo’s Brand Homes across Scotland, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer people a first small taste of what is to come at Johnnie Walker Princes Street.
“As well as building a whisky visitor experience like no other, we are also creating incredible hospitality and events spaces that will become a landmark destination for people from Edinburgh, Scotland and visitors from around the world.
“We hope people will enjoy this glimpse into Johnnie Walker Princes Street,” added Barbara, “and be excited to see the incredible interiors for themselves when we open our doors in summer 2021. In the meantime, we’ll be sharing more exclusive news and updates as part of e-newsletter, which people can sign up to on our website, as we gear up for the grand opening.”
