Whiski Rooms launches “The Scotch Room”

Well, here’s something that’ll interest anyone who appreciates a proper whisky setting - Whiski Rooms has just unveiled The Scotch Room, transforming their old shop space into what sounds like a rather impressive addition to their Edinburgh operation.

Located just off the Royal Mile on The Mound, they’ve created this new bar and private dining space with all the touches you’d expect - plush red leather booths, warm lighting, and those all-important shelves lined with Scottish whisky bottles. What’s clever is that the bottles on display are also available for purchase, so punters can take home whatever catches their eye during their visit.

The space serves multiple purposes, which is smart business really. It’s open daily for walk-ins where folks can enjoy cocktails, spritzes, or a proper dram while taking in panoramic views over Edinburgh. But they’ve also designed it to handle private events - everything from corporate receptions and product launches to private whisky tastings for larger groups.

The setup includes in-house catering, dedicated event support, and even a built-in TV for presentations, while maintaining that “lively yet intimate atmosphere” they’re going for. Their expert-led tastings continue in the dedicated tasting room, but now they’ve got this more flexible space for bigger parties and social gatherings.

It’s an interesting expansion that lets them welcome more guests while keeping their core whisky focus intact. They’re positioning it as both luxurious and distinctly Scottish - targeting that sweet spot between locals and the tourist trade that any successful Edinburgh venue needs to hit.

For bookings and private tastings, they’re directing people to whiskirooms.co.uk, and their online shop at whiskishop.com continues offering nationwide delivery for those who can’t make it to Edinburgh.
