    We went for the whisky and gin tasting. I phoned and asked about not having a party whisky as knew that one of the group did not like. They were very helpful and put in a different one. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable. I was so impressed I bought a few drinks and went back the following day and bought more

    Simply Great
    What a great shop. Well stocked and with a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable member of staff. We were welcomed (dog as well with a treat) and shown the shop. We were assisted and guided with expert knowledge from Donna. A lovely experience culminating in the purchase of several bottles. An experience we will repeat on our return next year. Highly recommend a visit.

    A fabulous tasting curated by John taking us through 5 different whiskeys . He gave us a history of scotch, tasting decorum and introduced us to 5 different whiskeys we don’t often get back in the states. Much better than any distillery tour.

    Single Malt Scotch Tasting
    We had a very enjoyable time learning about single malt whiskeys from John. He demonstrated the right way to sample and drink scotch. (Yes, there is a wrong way.) An added bonus was that our table was shared with folks doing a gin tasting, so we got the benefit of that as well. Altogether a well-spent afternoon.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
