A visit to one of The Whisky Exchange's stores this festive season is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. As the name suggests, the three shops are go-to destinations for lovers of scotch and world whiskies, but there's an enormous amount to discover beyond that, from rums and cognacs to gins, liqueurs and even fine wines and champagne, too.
Shelves are stocked with one of the most enviable selections of drinks in the world, with a huge range of products that have been curated by a team with decades of experience in fine wine and spirits. What's more, the stores' knowledgeable staff are always on hand and keen to help with recommendations, from drinking to gifting and much more besides.
What's in store
It's not just the selection that attracts so many spirits lovers. With a programme of in-store events and special services on offer, it's the perfect place to while away an hour or two. From tasting flights that make sure you're informed about your choices to engraving a bottle for an ultra-personal gift – and even the opportunity to fill your own bottle right from the cask – a festive visit to The Whisky Exchange is a Christmas shopping experience like no other.
