Deeside Drinks Emporium

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:

Whisky temptation

Argh! They’ve done it again. Why do single malts direct always send their email out when I’m skint?

Last time it was full of great sounding speysides like a 17 year old Benriach finished in Rioja casks. Who doesn’t like the sound of that? But as tempted as I was, funds are low just now so I had to pass (though I did get as far as adding the bottle to my basket and had my pointer hovering over the checkout button on the site).

Today’s email has special offers on Ardmore, Dalmore and Laphroig (and I’m all out of peaty whisky just now…), but I still don’t have much cash to my name.

Having said that it is payday next week and I’ve got a couple of weddings approaching, so I need something nice to put in my hip flask…
