Jolly Toper Whisky Tastings

Spotted this in a wee shop in Malta. 11 Euros, nice shop keeper suggested I give him 10, I didn’t want to refuse his generosity. A mix of Scottish and Spanish whisky. Some great grain notes that work very well in the warmth, water softens it to a nice quaffing point

On a recent visit to Edinburgh’s main library I saw an interesting looking resource : https://www.ourtownstories.co.uk/.

A wee poke about came up with some great whisky related images.

OPENING SATURDAY 29TH AUGUST📣🎉

Just a few months after opening St Andrews, we're excited to welcome you to Royal Mile Whiskies York, our newest home for whisky and the latest chapter in a story that began on Edinburgh's Royal Mile back in 1991.💛

You'll find us at 11 Coney Street, right in the heart of the city and just a ten minute stroll from the train station, with plenty to see and do on the doorstep. Coney Street was once known as York's Golden Half Mile, so it feels like exactly the right spot for Royal Mile Whiskies.🌟

Our Spirits Buyer Sam is down this week handpicking some special drams and making sure that the shelves are packed with interesting bottles, so please do come and see what he's found this weekend, and say hello to our team there. Whether you're after a staff favourite, a limited release or something you've never tried before, a warm welcome and a good dram are waiting for you
