Whisky Evenings at The Alamo Guest House

Step into an evening of warmth, story, and spirit at The Alamo Guest House “Whisky Evenings”. Our bi-monthly celebration of Scotland’s most iconic drink, hosted in the elegant surroundings of our historic townhouse.

More than a tasting, Our Whisky Evenings are an invitation to slow down and savour. To listen, to learn, and to connect not only with whisky itself but with Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, and with fellow guests who share a curiosity for craftsmanship and tradition.

A Celebration of Scottish Whisky

Each Whisky Evening is thoughtfully curated to showcase a selection of exceptional Scotch whiskies, ranging from well-loved classics to lesser-known distilleries and hidden gems. Whether you’re discovering whisky for the first time or deepening an existing passion, our tastings are designed to be accessible, engaging, and rewarding.

Guided by knowledgeable hosts, guests are led through each dram with insight into: Regional styles and flavour profiles, Traditional production methods, The influence of landscape, climate, and time, The stories, people, and places behind each bottle.

There’s no pressure to be an expert - curiosity is the only requirement.

History, Culture, and Storytelling

Whisky is inseparable from Scotland’s history, and these evenings explore far more than what’s in the glass. Throughout the night, we weave in tales of: Scotland’s whisky-making past and present, Highland and Lowland traditions, Smuggling, craftsmanship, and innovation, How whisky became a symbol of Scottish identity around the world.

Expect conversation, laughter, and moments of discovery - the kind that linger long after the final dram.
