  • At Royal Mile Whiskies, we're all about sharing the joy of exceptional drams, and this festive season we’re thrilled to introduce our very own Stocking Filler 11-Year-Old Sherrywood Blended Malt. Matured in sherry casks, this whisky is brimming with festive charm. Expect layers of rich, dried fruits, warming Christmas spices, and a rounded depth – the kind of whisky that feels like a cosy fireside in a glass 🔥 You’ll find it already being poured at some cracking spots like The Islay Inn, Blue Blazer, The Belfry, The Malt Room, Òran Mór, Ensign Ewart, and The Shambles Bar. We’re pretty chuffed with this one. It’s a malt that shows off what we love most about whisky: great flavour, a bit of character, and something you’ll be proud to pour. You can find our full Stocking Filler range online or on our Trade Portal.

  • Introducing Project 1927 by James Eadie Ltd – a remarkable journey through the history and future of whisky distillation, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it. In collaboration with six of Scotland’s most innovative distilleries, James Eadie has revived nearly forgotten 1920s distillation techniques, as detailed in the publication "The Distillation of Whisky 1927-31." The result is a ground-breaking whisky collection that brings these historic methods back to life. You can now experience these historic spirits as each distillery’s unique new make spirit has been released in a special collection, marking the beginning of their journey to becoming whisky. We are proud to be the exclusive retailer of these spirits which you can now purchase on the Royal Mile Whiskies website. As part of this project, the Royal Mile Whiskies team produced six captivating interviews with the participating distillers, led by Dave Broom and Alan Winchester at Holyrood Distillery.
