How it works
Some pubs in the tourist-facing parts of Glasgow's city centre and near major attractions sell pre-packaged "Scottish experience" drinking tours or whisky tasting packages at prices well above what individual purchases would cost. The quality of whisky offered is typically well below what the price implies, and the "local knowledge" provided is generic.
