While on The Royal Mile, drop in here for a Scotch Whisky from it's HUGE menu. They also have a good choice of beer and food available. TOP TIP: If you're new to whisky I suggest trying a nice speyside whisky (such as Glenfiddich, Glenlivet or Macallan) for a gentle introduction or if you're brave go for a more complex (and my favorites) Islay such as Laphroig or Lagavulin.
