It’s time to make time for the Best of the West Festival showcasing the West of Scotland’s creativity with music, food, ale and whisky.

The Loch Fyne Whisky Bar will be there.

At £5 per head (to see the Pipers or Skerryvore) It’s possible it will be a sell out before the day, so decide now to come and have a day (or two) of family fun (and a dram if you’re not Des the Driver).

Tickets in advance (from bowfest.co.uk) are £5 per person for a one-day ticket and £8 per person for a two-day, weekend ticket. Children under 16 come FREE!

The latest offering and limited to just 900 bottles in the UK

The Devil’s Punchbowl 

A spoilation of vintage, elderly and very interesting bottlings from G&M now up for grabs (most are one bottle only), see them here at our Just in… Page (which is not only for people called ‘Justin’ by-the-way).

Hi,

I was in the store a few months ago and you mentioned that you would like feedback on the new LFW.co.uk website. Having placed my first order I’m pleased to say that its fantastic!!! and perfect for me as I know nothing about whisky but am buying for an enthusiast.

The Flavor Map made its quick and simple to order a whisky with the correct characteristics, and I felt confident that anything I bought would be well priced and good quality.

with kindest regards

Anyone seen a tasting note for Brora that compares its closure as a good career move, akin to the death of Sid Vicious?

A fascinating interplay between sweet red wine and low-down dirty peat.
