Customers of The Whisky Shop constantly search for the different and the special, whether it be a treat for themselves or a gift for someone else. At The Whisky Shop we stock a vast range of different whiskies covering all the mainstream brands as well as the independent bottlings. We like to think that we go the extra mile for our customers and our relative size allows is to reach beyond the traditional supply chain and produce our own exclusive offerings.
In 2004 we introduced our GlenKeir Treasures range. We launched the concept with a truly unique range of single malt whiskies that we purchase in wood directly from the distiller. The whiskies are decanted into oak barrels within our shops, from where they are hand bottled as and when purchased by the customer.
Each whisky used is selected for its individual quality and attractiveness. We conduct an extensive search and only pick the best of the best. The whisky is then subjected to the minimum processing so as to retain its original characteristics. No large batch chill filtering is employed and each whisky's short stay in oak while in our store adds further interest and character.
The GlenKeir Treasures range encompasses a broad variety of makes, styles and ages. Ranging from a fresh and smokey Ledaig from the Island of Mull to a luxurious 15 year old Macallan, there is something for all palates and budgets. Customers can taste in store and get an instant understanding of the regional differences of Scotch. The whisky chosen can be bottled in a 20cl sample bottle or in a standard 50cl bottle. Each bottle is attractively packaged with a bespoke gift carton and has an individual label authenticating its contents. All the whiskies are bottled at 40% strength.
GlenKeir Treasures were first introduced to The Whisky Shop's new outlet in Edinburgh's Victoria Street, close to the Royal Mile and the range has now been rolled across all stores in the estate. The Treasures have gone down a storm with customers and many want to explore the whole range once one variety has been purchased.
Our deliveries so far have included a Ledaig 8 year old, a Glenrothes 10 year old, an Aberlour 9 year old, a Deanston 12 year old, a Ben Nevis 10 year old, a Ben Nevis 15 year old, a Macallan 15 year old, a Macallan 18 year old, a Linkwood 12 year old and a Tomatin. We have a number of other makes in the pipeline. We have also expanded the concept to encompass a cast strength range and a celebration miniature.
