Humble Beginnings...

Like more than a few good things in life, my whisky passion started with a dram, a dram of whisky on my wedding day. It was nothing fancy mind, just an aptly named “Founders Reserve”.  From there I dived deep into the whisky ocean, and went - like a lot of you I imagine - on a wonderful journey of discovery.  A journey not just of taste, places, and special moments in time...but of whisky people and their stories.

Whisky is a wonderful medicine. When treated with respect, it brings people together, and encourages community, sharing and enjoyment.  Whisky stimulates creativity and its appreciation. It can open up the heart and stir the soul. 


From just the three simple ingredients of barley, water, and yeast, and then through a romantic industrial - or even alchemical process - beautiful spirit emerges to be filled into casks, and rests there for time and wood to work their magic.  Later, sometimes much later, design & bottling occurs. Only then comes the special moment for us all to taste and discover this water of life.  

East Coast Whisky represents the continuation of this journey, into sharing with you what whisky is out there, the experiences and stories it brings, and the people it meets along its way.

There will be blogging, tastings, whisky meals, festivals, cask bottling, and more as we journey to maturation.

Our focus is coastal and local, as myself and the team are based in East Lothian and Edinburgh, Scotland. Yet we are open to all who form this global whisk(e)y community, near and far.

So welcome, pour yourself a #dramo'the day and enjoy!!!

Secret Orkney Tour - 21st/24th March 2024 - THE DRAMS UPDATE!!

Updated: Feb 23


Hot on the heals of last November's Speyside extravaganza, we are now taking a smaller group to the Mainland of Orkney in March, there to enjoy wonderful whiskies and inspiring sights.


The tour will include a whole day of Highland Park experiences, including special tastings. This is particularly timely, as the distillery closes for refurbishment at the end of March. There will also be a private tour of Scapa, again with exclusive tasting. We will also visit some of the World's finest neolithic archeology, different setting to enjoy some rare whisky at or in!! Then there will be the customary epic East Coast Whisky dinner(s), as well as some other fine drams along the way.


The tour cost £1100 and includes all of the above and ground transport, just not your flights, accommodation and other food. All you have to do is get to the Highland Park Bar at The Kirkwall Hotel by 9pm on Thursday 21st!!


More information is available on request. There is currently only 1 place left, so please get in touch very soon if you would like to join us. dram@eastcoastwhisky.com
