Fresh CoffeeFrom Production to The Cellar Bar

Scotland can be a very wet country, although beautiful on a clear day, Scotland does get a lot of rain especially in the highland mountain regions. All this rain runs down mountains streams and burns to fill our rivers and lochs.
     
Filtering through the peat moors into burns, streams and rivers, carrying with it some slight memory of its long journey through the highlands.
     
Finally it collects helping to form some of our spectacular Scottish scenery in the Scottish lochs, rivers and reservoirs where our brewers and distillers collect it as an important ingredient in the making of whisky.
     
As it filters down through the hills it provides water for the heathers whose flowers will ultimately be used by the bees to  make the honey used in some of our liqueur whiskies. 
     
Finally it's brewed and distilled using high quality grain produce, specialised yeasts and secret recipes from long ago; ensuring each distillery has it's own set of unique flavours. 
     
After maturing in wooden barrels  for many years it's bottled and shipped from these old Scottish distilleries to destinations all over the world.
It's Scotland's national drink.
 
     
At long last, maybe ten, fifteen, even thirty years or more later you can sit in Airdrie Cellar Bar smell their aromas, admire their colours, taste their exquisite flavours and feel their warmth.

Whisky is a fine Scottish spirit that has had much written about it over the centuries however no amount of reading can substitute sampling the real thing. We have over 300 fine scotch whiskies in stock for you to sample.
