Returning to Royal Mile Whiskies is always a highlight of my Edinburgh trips. This shop is perfectly located on the historic Royal Mile and offers a dizzying array of whiskies that cater to both novices and connoisseurs alike. What sets this place apart is the staff; they are not only deeply knowledgeable about their products but also genuinely attentive to what you are looking for, never pushing the priciest options but rather guiding you based on your taste and budget.
The prices at Royal Mile Whiskies are very reasonable, making it a great spot to pick up both well-known labels and rare finds without breaking the bank. The selection is extensive and well-curated, ensuring that there is something for every whisky enthusiast.
I highly recommend Royal Mile Whiskies for anyone looking to explore the world of whisky or to add to their collection. Their approachable expertise and the welcoming atmosphere make every visit a pleasure. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this shop is a treasure not to be missed on your...
Read moreWe spent a day in Edinburgh while on a Viking Cruise land excursion. We walked down the Royal Mile and came across the Royal Mile Whiskies store and were quite impressed with the Staff and selections!!! I purchased a bottle of the Dalmore Cigar Blend to take back to the ship with us (yes, Viking allows you to bring alcohol on board).
After our cruise, we had a 3 day land tour back in Edinburgh and made it a point to stop in again to buy a couple of bottles to bring home. Royal Mile Whiskies has a shipping service back to the States that is very reasonable. FYI, the RMW price on Dalmore Cigar Blend was about GBP 20 less than the duty free.
I want to thank Heidi and Sam for the great service while we shopped!!!! Make sure you stop there if you are ever in Edinburgh!!!

Read moreCompared to another two Whisky stores we went into on Royale Mile, this store (RM Whiskies) is definitely the BEST and most highly rated store! Top 3 reasons why you should buy here:
KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF who have strong opinions and love their whisky! We had a wonderful lady who shared our passion for smoky, peaty Islay whisky! She recommended BenRiach and Signatory Vintage for us, both of which we had rarely tasted in the US. After we got home, we researched both and they were highly rated!
GREAT PRICES! Prices are on-point with online prices, factoring in VAT refund, availability outside of Scotland AND location on the mile, it's amazing! BenRiach Peated Cask Strength Batch 1 (£61.95, online at £57.84) BenRiach Peated Quarter Cask (£49.95, online at £47.99 ) Signatory Vintage Ledaig 2005 (£79.95, online at £78.76 )
