If you want a serious whisky tasting this is the place to go. Delve into their single cask cask strength drams and discover everything Scotch has to offer - they really do have something for everyone. Incredibly knowledgeable hospitality professionals running the venue with a warm welcome. Treat yourself to one of their rare flights and settle in for a fab evening. Sliante 🥃
