Any Whisky drinkers in the house?? - especially in Aberdeen!!!

[MartinSullivan]

Ok so if you like whisky and you live in or visit Aberdeen then please pay a visit to my nephews whisky shop at 474 Union Street. Nick has been a manager of a large off licence in Aberdeen for a number of years and has built up a reputation for providing quality whisky and has now decided to set up on his own.

The shop is due to open on the 23rd October :thumbs up:

Good to know, wish him luck

Yeah, I pass it most mornings on my way to work and have seen the shop coming together. Was it Oddbins he worked for, as the window graphics are pretty much the same (in a good way, as I really like them). I told my boss about it (a whiskey drinker) and he was pretty chuffed it was pretty much on his doorstep lol! Wish him luck from me also!

[MartinSullivan]

yes it was oddbins , well spotted. For the past two years he has been one of the highest selling managers because they allowed him to build up the whisky side of the business, this year they expected him to better last years target without providing him the high end whisky that was the basis of his good sales record, this pretty much put him in an untenable position so he decided to set up on his own.

[MartinSullivan]

He is looking to organise tastings and other events so keep an eye out, or if anyone has clients/staff that might be interested in organising something then contact Nick at the shop and he will organise something to suit your requirements

Will have to let the husband know as he is a whiskey drinker, also have a few friends that like a tipple of two so will have to pay a visit for some christmas pressies lol

WHISKY.....pahh......sick of the sight of the stuff :moonie:

I currently work at John Dewars bottling plant where there are MILLIONS of gallons of the stuff lying about :p

Good luck with his shop tho:thumbs up:

:off topic: Happy birthday for last Thursday by the way wee chap:smilewinkgrin:

[MartinSullivan]

lol at the discount, once he gets up and running Im sure we could sort something out. Could do an NMS tasting night, but would have to be a "no cars" night, or at least have nominated drivers.

Lol @ Big G

Just to warn you, the last person that said they would just "pop in past" when he was at the old shop left having spent 800 quid :thumbs up: It can be an expensive hobby :hand:

I'm a big fan of malts, my favourites being Aberlour A'bunadh and Lagavulin, unfortunately I'm a long way south for Union Street

Speyside's are generally my thing, although Bruichladdich is a lovely Islay. Enjoying a 15yo Glenfarclas at the moment, although the non-chill filtered Edradour I opened on Friday night is pretty fantastic. My mums cousin used to be the distillery manager at Glenlivet, so always had a soft spot for that, especially the 18yo.

Got 29 bottles in the house, so plenty of choice :thumbs up:

It is, but nowhere near as expensive as Mini's!
