The experience
You start with a flavor quiz that maps your taste preferences: sweet, smoky, spicy, fruity, whatever lands for you. That profile then drives the three cocktails the bartender makes during the tour, so what you drink is built around what you actually like, not a fixed tasting menu. The whole thing runs 90 minutes and moves through The Johnnie Walker Experience space with a live guide walking you through the history and craft behind the whiskies as you go.
The tour is built around immersive moments: flashing lights, media, music and special effects that bring the brand's story to life. You're not sitting in a classroom. You're moving through a space designed to show you how Johnnie Walker whiskies are made and what makes them different from each other. The three cocktails arrive as part of that journey, tailored to your flavor profile from the quiz. If you'd rather skip the alcohol, mocktails are available, and you can also ask for a neat whisky instead of a mixed drink.
Arrive 15 minutes early. The experience is wheelchair accessible, and children over 8 are welcome with a ticket: under 8 is not permitted due to health and safety rules around the sensory effects and the alcohol service. If you're bringing ID-required guests, physical ID cards only (no digital copies). Smart casual dress. No costumes or sports gear.
Top questions

Yes. Ticket types: Child (8 to 17 years). Children under 8 can't be included in the booking.
What does the flavor quiz actually tell you about which cocktails you'll get?
The Johnnie Walker Signature Experience uses your answers to map your taste preferences (whether you lean toward sweet, smoky, spicy or fruity notes), and the bartender builds your three cocktails around that profile so each one suits what you actually like to drink.
Can I do this experience if I don't drink alcohol?
Yes. Non-alcoholic mocktails are available throughout the tour, and you can request them instead of the whisky-based cocktails or ask for a neat whisky if you prefer that option.
How long does the whole experience take from arrival to finish?
The guided tour itself is 90 minutes, and you should arrive 15 minutes early, so plan for about two hours total at The Johnnie Walker Experience.
What's the dress code?
Smart casual attire is required. Costumes and sporting attire are not allowed.
Is the venue accessible for wheelchair users?
