About What's Your Whisky at Johnnie Walker Princes Street

At the start of the Journey of Flavour tour, visitors take the 'What's Your Whisky' quiz to determine their personal flavour preferences. Drinks on the tour are then tailored to their palates. There are more than 800 flavour combinations available in the innovative dispense systems, meaning a consumer could visit every day for more than two years and not have the same experience twice.
