Whisky & Tales
No good story ever began with "So I was having a salad"
Whisky & Tales: A Journey through the Water of Life
Uisge Beatha. The Water of Life. Sunshine in a Glass. Whisky.
Call it what you like, but it is undoubtedly the finest of spirits—a drink that fills the mind with images of misty glens, untamed moors, and the rugged, spirited people of the Highlands.
Scottish storyteller Calum Lykan invites you on a gentle stroll through your imagination with Whisky & Tales. From legends of the "holy water" that saved great heroes to its vilification as the "Devil’s drink," these stories explore the deep cultural roots of Scotland’s national tipple.
What began as a popular Ceilidh-style walking tour through the streets of Edinburgh has now evolved into a versatile performance for any venue. I offer two ways to enjoy the experience:
-
Whisky & Tales: An immersive session where we sit back to enjoy a "wee dram" together, perfectly paired with the stories behind the glass.
-
Whisky Tales: A storytelling-focused performance dedicated to the lore and history of whisky, without the tasting.
(Please note: This is no longer a walking tour... unless, of course, you have a plan in mind!)
