SMWS to open new Edinburgh whisky bar
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society has announced the launch of a new whisky bar as part of a major refurbishment of its 28 Queen Street venue.
A new whisky bar will open at the Queen Street venue in EdinburghThe venue will remain closed throughout July in order for the £300,000 building project to take place, and is set to reopen on 1 August.
Every month the Society releases a new selection of its rare single cask single malt whiskies, which will be made available at the bar immediately – ensuring a constantly-changing menu of whisky flavours.
A limited range of “extremely rare” proprietary whiskies selected for the SMWS by a special guest curator will also be offered.
The bar will be located on the ground floor of the Georgian townhouse venue at 28 Queen Street, visible and accessible from street level.
The Dining Room restaurant, previously on the ground floor, will move upstairs to the first floor and be expanded to include features such as a Charles Heidsieck champagne table.
A new shop area is also being established, while two new private lounges are also being created for the Society’s members.
The venue is to host a free open house event on 5 August.
