What Steve likes about The Scotch Malt Whisky Society:
Great place to spend a few hours chilling out. It is members only. We joined after a recommendation from someone. There is a pub locally which you don't have to be a member where there is a wide range of whiskeys from this place available. We had some bare snacks whilst there which were very nice as well. Staff really pleasant and helpful. View all feedback. What Ril 2368 doesn't like about The Scotch Malt Whisky Society:
Lovely location and whisky but food and service have been disappointing as of late. It didn't use to be so, pre pandemic it was a choice spot to take our visiting friends and family to. We tried a few times, might have been unlucky, but the food and service quality have taken a bit of a dive. Stunning location though. View all feedback.
