Zack SheppardJuly 7, 20226 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 MNovember 12, 2015They 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 SheppardMarch 18, 2017Really 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
One of the best whisky shop's in Edinburgh. No tourist trap with fancy prices. Excellent range of rare bottles.
- Dean McVeyNovember 8, 2018If 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.

"A great selection of Scottish Whisky's. Try the 12 year old Balvenie single malt for a sweet vanilla and honey taste with a sherry finish. I do say!"
