Since 1967, GlenAllachie has focused on slow distillation and aging in quality oak casks to mature its distinctive flavour. The process is all about letting the whisky develop its unique character. 🥃 The 12-year-old has a smooth mix of honey and mocha, the 15-year-old brings dried fruit and chocolate notes, and the 18-year-old delivers a rich blend of oak, vanilla, and spice. Available now at Carnegie Whisky Cellars - why not stop by and pick up a bottle?

We've had another exciting delivery 🥃. We’ve just received a fresh batch of The Hearach, the much-anticipated Isle of Harris Single Malt Scotch Whisky. There's even extra special bottles filled with matured in first-fill Oloroso casks—rich, smooth, and absolutely worth a taste.

You might know Harris for their famous gin (which we also stock, of course! 😉), but their whisky game is just as strong. Pop in and grab yours before it’s gone!

An Evening to Remember with Samaroli at the Dornoch Whisky Festival ✨

This tasting really brought out that special mix of Italian style and Scottish tradition that makes their bottles stand out.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us – it was all about great whisky, good company, and a shared love for the craft. Here’s to more nights like this! 🥃

Let’s talk about Islay whiskies 🥃 The little island off Scotland’s west coast has been distilling whisky for centuries, and it’s famous for its bold, smoky flavours. The signature peat smoke comes from the island’s natural peat bogs, giving Islay whiskies their one-of-a-kind punch. 🌿
