6 years since I was last here and it’s still an absolute must when you’re in Edinburgh. A variety of rare whiskeys you won’t find anywhere else in the city , all at solid prices.

Sam M

They seem to have less of a range then the other whisky shops but a fair few things you won't find in the others as they do their own bottling. Nice atmosphere. Highly knowledgeable and helpful staff .

Zack Sheppard

Really appreciate this place. Cask strength single barrel selection (not the usual same-selection-as-duty-free the rest of the Mile has) and they're actually helpful and not pushy with picking bottles

Duke

One of the best whisky shop's in Edinburgh. No tourist trap with fancy prices. Excellent range of rare bottles.

If you don’t know, it’s ok! The team here are like expert curators, not shop assistants. Go here and get something unusual and just enjoy the experience and expertise! Bask in infinite knowledge .

Best guided audio tour of any of the Scottish castles so far. Well kept and plenty of access. Only wish it was possible to go more around outside, but understandable there’s need for restrictions - Ole H.
