SHOPPING & RETAIL
THE WHISKY SHOP
In the shadow of Inverness
Castle lies The Whisky
Shop, one of the UK’s finest
purveyors of malted barley
and water. Situated on Bridge
Street, this specialist trader
in fine liquors and assorted
whiskies has a wide selection
of spirits to choose from,
tempting both the casual
shopper and most discerning
aficionado inside. ‘Unlocking
the mystery of whisky’ is the
mission behind the brand, so
a visit to The Whisky Shop can
prove to be quite the learning
experience. The expert staff
are more than happy to impart
their knowledge, explaining the
differences in flavour between
differing casks, stills and
maturation processes. With
malts and blends from around
Scotland and much further
afield to choose from, it certainly
helps to have a guide to assist
you in navigating the whisky
trail. World whiskies from the
USA, Ireland, Japan and even
Wales can also be found for
those who wish to broaden
their horizons and pallets. The
Whisky Shop boasts many
exclusive whiskies and rarities,
providing a special and unique
take on the water of life. It
may take years to become a
true connoisseur of whisky,
but with a range of avenues to
explore it certainly makes for
an enjoyable journey.
