I was excited to try this place after I found it on several lists highlighting 'go to' whisky places to try while in Edinburgh.  Let me tell you, those lists did not lie, and this place did not disappoint. Over 200 whiskies in house (according to what I've read).\n\n The place is located down Advocate's Close pretty close to the top of the Royal Mile.  You would never suspect that anything was down this sleepy little side alley. I arrived around 7pm on a Saturday, and it was hopping!  I had only one goal in mind, and that was trying a few different whiskies. I made my way to the bar and was amazed at the wall of liquor.  How do the reach the ones way up at the top??!!? \n\nOne barman in particular was very helpful at walking me through their whisky menu.  I described the type of whisky I liked, and he was happy to bring down a few options and let me choose.  He also taught me the 'proper' way to drink whisky (with a water dripper to adjust the whisky), which is something I've never seen back in America.\n\nI tried three whiskies, and I really enjoyed two of them.  Best part was the value - judging from the final tally, I probably payed \u00a34-5 per glass on average.  It would cost 2x as much back in the States! \n\nTheir cocktail menu is also impressive, as is watching the very talented barmen make the drinks with a steady, precise hand.  These guys are truly masters at their craft, as some of the drinks take several minutes to make.  \n\nThank you Devil's Advocate for the whisky instruction and suggestions, and thank you Edinburgh for your affordable whisky!  I will return to Edinburgh, and I will call again at your fine establishment.
