My wife and I had an amazing experience at SMWS Glasgow, thanks to an outstanding bartender. Even though he’s only been with SMWS for six months, his knowledge of the collection and the tasting notes was incredible. We could name any flavor profile, and he would immediately find the perfect match—even pulling out gems like a sherried Cragganmore. On top of that, the pricing was excellent, especially with their promotions. I was thrilled to pick up a 29-year Glenburgie for £160, which was £40 off the regular price.

It's a great venue; it took awhile to get to the level of knowledge and service of its Edinburgh counterparts but now it's hit a stride where it's excellent every visit.

So many whiskies, there's one for every taste! Gin and brandy are also well covered.
