For the fourth leg of the Maker’s + the Machine Wax Lyrical Tour, we found ourselves in sunny Edinburgh. The task of serving Kentucky Bourbon to a bunch of Scotch whisky drinkers doesn’t sound too easy, so it was with a little trepidation and a lot of determination that we packed up our red wigs and vending machine to head to both the Grassmarket and George Street in the heart of Edinburgh city centre.
For three days the Maker’s Mark vending machine popped up to offer passers by a choice of three premium bourbon cocktails all made by our secret bartender hidden inside. We served over 1,000 cocktails and had almost 100% positive feedback on the drink, which was no mean feat under the circumstances! Passers-by took to Twitter to post photos of our one-of-a-kind vending machine, while sipping Kentucky Champagne by the beautiful backdrop of Edinburgh castle.
Big thanks to the lovely locals for giving us such a great reception. You’re welcome in Kentucky anytime!
