Edinburgh City Centre Hotel Bar : Malt Scotch Whiskies
There are few products so closely related to the land of their birth than Scotch whisky. It is the lifeblood of Scotland historically, socially and economically.

Whisky has been produced in Scotland for hundreds of years. It is generally agreed that monks brought distillation with them along with Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries.

The word - 'whisky' - derives from uisge, which is an abbreviation of uisge beatha, the Scottish Gaelic for 'Water of Life'.
Blended Scotch Whisky

World's best selling de luxe blend from Jonnie Walker. The blend includes Port Dundas grain and malts from Caol Ila and Talisker.


Grant's  -  £2.10

Contains 25 malts which comprise 35 percent of the blend.


Famous Grouse  -  £2.10

Golden, clear and bright; the colour is a hint of the balance of liquids inside: satisfying malts like The MaCallan and Highland Park married with fine grain whiskies.

An exceptionally smooth and mellow Scotch whisky containing a high proportion of carefully selected Island and Speyside Malts.


Robert Burns  -  £2.60

On the nose there is a riot of sherry, almonds, toffee, treacle, hot sponge cake, banana kept under control by just a hint of oak. On the palate it starts with dry oaky vanilla, toffee and figs.


Te Bheag  -  £2.60

Te Bheag Unchilfiltered - a unique blend which contains all the natural fats and oils normally filtered away in the final stages of the whisky making process. The Gaelic meaning is 'Little Lady'.

Glenmorangie 10 Year Old  -  £2.90

It has been called ‘the perfect ten’ and most Glenmorangie drinkers will readily drink to that! After 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, the Glenmorangie spirit has had enough time to mature and mellow into a beautifully balanced yet marvellously complex malt whisky.


Highland Park 12 Year Old  -  £3.10

Highland Park’s incomparable balance comes from a tension between the aromatic Orkney peat and the sweetness of oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry.

Firm, distinguished, elegant tones. A fruity oiliness with just a hint of smoke gently enriches the palate.
