Fantastic first visit, and certainly not my last.Was looked after by Jeremy in the bar area and couldn't have asked for more... attentive service, a welth of knowledge and ample charm and humour.The selection of whiskys he picked out for us was perfect, catering to both my partners palette for light and easy, and my wants for smoke and peat.My partner had the Ribeye Steak and I opted for the Beef Chuck. Both were perfectly cooked, well presented and both mouth watering good!I can't wait for my next visit!

I visited with a few friends during a dark January Saturday evening. Such a fascinating place and Helen our lead for the tasting was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and really enjoyed talking through everything they offered and how they make it such a special whisky offer and their various sites. We ended up not having any food, but they have a selection available for anyone in tastings or in their public rooms. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a few hours with other whisky lovers or even anyone who is unsure of drinking whisky.

* A note on grades, I rate outwards from three stars. *A very pleasant venue for whiskey tasting. We hit it up on our last day in Scotland and I'm pleased we made a point of it.Suspect it's much better for members.Worth considering for a visit if you're into innovative, modern whiskey.

Been a member for 3 years and this was my very first visit and I was not disappointed! The service in the member room was incredibly attentive and warm even in a very busy space (two events happening). Wonderful recommendations to pair a dram with the food I ordered (all were divine!). Beautiful space, little off the path to get there but worth the visit!

As a member of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Queen Street in Edinburgh for a few years now, I can attest that it's one of the best places to unwind and sample some of the finest whiskies around. It's a true whisky lover's paradise, with an impressive collection of some of the best and most unique whiskies from around the world.The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and always willing to help guide you through the menu and make recommendations based on your preferences. The whisky tastings are a particular highlight - they're a great way to sample a variety of whiskies and learn more about the history and production of each one. The club also hosts a range of fantastic events throughout the year, always well-organized, and it's clear that the staff take great care in ensuring that every guest has a memorable experience.

Interesting experience in terms of the whisky, which I needed to water down considerably before I could enjoy the flavours. However, my haggis, tatties and neeps was definitely the most delicious I've ever had. Very nice ambience and a lovely evening out. Booking highly recommended.

We were not a member, but wanted to try the scotch. After a wonderful dinner and tastings we are now a member.Because we were not a member, we sat in their bar area. Small but cozy. Reservations are definitely recommended because they are small.Logan was our bartender/server. Very knowledgeable, answered my million questions.The food was phenomenal!We had the mackerel and a pasta with pancetta that I forgot to take pictures of.., and a grilled quail with a chimmichurri sauce that was awesome amazing. It was all very very delicious.And some cherry yummy goodness for dessert.We had a dram of the moment,And then did a dram of 'line dancing in the deadwood saloon it was very tasty.Also did a 3 dram "cask flight" that was good too.We became a member to buy 2 bottles.If you like scotch
