A great wee Malt Whisky bar. - Delightful hours spent enjoying a wide range of quality whisky. The bar was quirky with attentive knowledgeable staff. A return trip is certainly on the cards.

Perfect, family whisky tasting - Professional, all-round harmonious single malt tasting with guitar accompaniment and Scottish folk songs in a cosy, family setting. You can't do better than that.

Boutique tasting room with great service and awesome selection!! - Found this gem on our first trip to Inverness. Aidan and Nick were fabulous! Explaining many of the local spirits and making up some fabulous cocktails for us! We were unsure about dinner reservations and Aidan was nice enough to call ahead to a great local steak house and get us in for dinner!! Overall an excellent pick!!

Amazing! - Wow, had a couple of Old Fashioneds. Went with the flow on the first, then rye the second. Broke the Scottish ranks with that. Finished off with an Irish Taoscan, sorry but homage to my homeland. Amazing drinks and service. Highly recommend. Give the door a good push, looked like they are closed but so glad I gave it a second go. You won’t be disappointed.

Great experience with impeccable service. - Very cute place with a great atmosphere. I'm not a whisky drinker but my wife is. She enjoyed what she had. I had the most delicious vodka drink so there are other drinks besides whisky. The bartender was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions and made some really good suggestions. We wish were able to spend more time there. It was the type of place you could enjoy a good drink with good conversation. We didn't feel rushed to leave and felt welcomed to stay as long as we wanted. We'd like to go back if we are ever in Inverness again.

The bar not to be missed if you are lovers of whiskey or just curious in Iverness - An address for whiskey lovers or curious... friendly and intimate atmosphere, the space is small but warm. Stayed open relatively late, less noisy than some pubs in the square. An impressive selection of local whiskeys, and bartenders ready to advise you as needed. Must do if fate has taken you to Iverness
