Visited the shop as I?d noticed a bottle in the window I?d never tried before, which I was keen to discuss with the staff, to hear their thoughts on whether it would suit my palate and interests.They were kind enough to let me sample the whisky (for which I?m very grateful - helped me avoid a £60 mistake!) but that?s about as nice as they got.The conversation was difficult, arrogant, and came with a sense of ?we don?t really want to speak to you?.It definitely felt like unless you were on the older side, you probably didn?t know what you were talking about, and probably were buying a gift for your grandad/father. Which is fine, but let?s address that with friendly advice, not dismissals and a complete lack of interest in a potential paying customer.I bought a bottle of Ledaig, knowing it had a substantial markup, pleased to know I was helping an independent shop, but in future I?ll stick to an online independent whisky shop, or those found elsewhere.If you?re running an independent shop, you probably are passionate about your wares, I did not get that sense here, but it was my individual experience with these particular staff members.

Lady in this place is an absolute pleasure to deal with. The guy is rude and arrogant. Went in today and as paying for a bottle askedabout a specific whisky told in condescending manner not have it. When asked if he could get it, response was yes but he wouldnt be doing so. I left the bottle on the counter and left, as did the couple queuing behind me also leaving their purchase. Who commented on his rudeness who had also been put off. 2 lost sales. I have used this place many times & aware of his rudeness but this is the last time. Shame cause could be great shop & lovely lady but he is just so rude & miserable.

OThis was one of the best shop that I have ever been in!!! The owner and his wife were very knowledgeable and took time the to talk about the diffrent whiskeys. They gave amazing info, the history of each bottle and were very personable. I'm very ecited and happy with the 30 year Glengoyne that I purchased at an amazing price. Thank you!!!

Bought a bottle singleton 12 year old at £48 only to then go to morrisons find it at £22.99 not on offer for exactly the same size whilst I expect independent stores to charge a little more I don't expect to pay over double for the exact same bottle of whisky.We won't be shopping in here again which is a shame as normally we support independent stores however the mark is too much to justify shopping here.

The few whisky shops I have been in the staff have been very knowledgable and friendly and open to give advice if needed , what?s invaluable if you are looking for a gift or just starting your whisky journey. But like my self and many others who have been a whisky enthusiast for over 30 years hear lies the issue . You can buy the same whisky online for 10,15 or even 20 pounds a bottle cheaper , what?s a pity because I believe in supporting local shops and they need to make a profit and employ people , the issue lies with taxation , sometimes the distillers and bottle flippers . Just my opinion ..

Great place to get a range of different alcoholic drinks. I was served by a very kind lady, I think it was her and her husband there. Might be wrong though.A lovely place at the top of Steep Hill, past the cathedral and upwards through the town.Hopefully you guys can give it a go! Take care

A real gem of a find up near the cathedral in Bailgate area. Eclectic mix of stock from island malts, deluxe Irish, unique gins, bourbons and mead. Run by a lovely, knowledgeable couple, kept in line by their lovely Spaniel. A real find!
