Scotch Whisky Tasting @ the 51st Charleston Scottish Games
(Token must be purchased separately at the Whisky Tasting Venue)

Scots are proud of their whisky! It’s no wonder – after all, the term ‘whisky’ comes from the Gaelic uisge beatha , which translates as the ‘water of life’. And anything called the ‘water of life’ must be worthy of a bit of a celebration, surely?

Our Scotch tasting tent will feature top distillers from all over Scotland. You can opt for a ticket which provides entry to a whisky class where you will have the chance to try special and rare malts and go on a remarkable whisky journey, or you can simply purchase tokens and try the whisky of your choice!

“Where Scottish History & Heritage Go Hand in Hand”

The Scottish people have made a large impact on South Carolina, helping it to become the state it is today. From music and food, to political and scientific contributions, Scottish heritage is something to be celebrated and promoted in modern life. The Charleston Scottish Games and Highland Gathering is on a mission to do just that. The Games showcases Scottish traditions, culture, and history in a fun and interactive way for people all over the world.
