The guys at Dunnottar Wines and Spirits in Stonehaven have recently opened a 2nd shop in Banchory, called Deeside Drinks Emporium. Located on Dee Street, across from Bellview car park, they’re still not fully up to speed but they do have a fine selection of wine, whisky and some beer. Personally I think this is something that’s been sorely lacking in Banchory and I expect it’s arrival could prove quite expensive for me in the future!
I popped in for a look today and came away with a bargain in a bottle of 18 year old Fettercairn from independent bottlers Gordon and MacPhail, and a few interesting beers – a raspberry beer, a black double pale ale from Brewdog, a single hop ale with elderflower and a pale ale from Orkney. I’m really looking forward to opening them!
EDIT: As this post seems to get a lot of hits from people searching for information on the shop you can find them on facebook here:

Hey Chris.
Thanks for. the kind words.
We’re really glad that you have been enjoying some of our fine products and would like to thank you, and all the good people of Aberdeenshire who have been so supportive with both our latest venture, and the established shop in Stonehaven.
Just a quick FYI; we have teamed up with the guys at the Cairn Gourmet on Banchory high street and will be matching some fine Scottish cheeses with some liquid refreshment on Wednesday 29th of September. Entry is £3.50 and places can be reserved in store.
Kick off is 6:45pm – see yo there!

Just been into the shop in Banchory… fabulous, finally a good Wine and Whisky place.
What really did it for me though, is an establishment stocking Gosling’s Black Seal Rum from Bermuda, probably the most fantastic beverage in the world!!!
