the Milroy Brothers.
Previously known as the Tartan Room, the brothers hosted legendary tastings for small and sometimes larger groups.
We are adding new tasting events throughout the year. Our latest series includes exceptional tastings such as the classic Trip
Across Scotland Peat Trails of Scotland and Around the World Whisky Trail, as well as numerous one-off events.

last available slot is approximately 6:30pm.
The minimum number for a private event is five people. We can arrange a private session on Saturdays and Sundays with advanced

A taste of Scotland
From the gentle Lowlands to the bold, peat-forward expressions of Islay, this tasting journey will take us through each of
Scotland’s whisky regions. As always with our events, no two tastings are ever the same. With exciting new releases and
rare finds constantly emerging, you never know what unique drams might make an appearance. With a variety of ABVs and
wood styles shaping the flavour journey, we begin with a delicate Lowland, move on to a rounded, fruity Highland, enjoy the
classic character of Speyside, then venture westward to the Islands and finally arrive at the bold, smoky expressions of Islay.
Discovery Tastings
Traditional Classics
This tasting explores the classic whisky styles of Scotland, revealing the wood styles and distilling practices of iconic
Scottish distilleries. Some distilleries have remained unchanged since the 1800s, serving as the foundation of the whisky
industry we know today. Each whisky in this tasting will possess a distinctive flavour profile, providing you with a
comprehensive sensory experience.
New and Emerging Classics
Several distilleries have opened in Scotland and Ireland since the beginning of this century. For example, the Lowlands of
Scotland now have eleven distilleries, compared to just three in the early 2000s. Ireland has also seen a rise in distilleries,
with the number increasing from about fifty in 2003 to the current figure. In this tasting, we will explore the diverse range of
new distilleries, uncovering the whiskies that have yet to captivate your palate and the distilleries that have spearheaded
the revival of the Scottish whisky industry and the frontrunners in the new and fast-emerging Irish whiskey market.
Step Back In Time
The Nostalgia Tasting Event
Have you ever had the chance to taste a Littlemill or Banff single malt from the last century? What about the original
Rosebank or Saint Magdalene? Perhaps a beautifully aged 50-year-old Speyside is more your style. Whether you’re a
seasoned enthusiast who’s experienced these rare and exquisitely balanced whiskies, someone hoping for a first taste, or
simply looking for one last opportunity to enjoy them, this is the tasting for you. Even in this establishment, the world’s
oldest independent whisky shop, we encounter situations where items are depleted or become prohibitively expensive,
making their replacement virtually impossible. Consequently, we regret to inform you that we will not be offering this type
of tasting again for open bookings. This may be the last chance to try some truly legendary whiskies at a reasonable price.
(Spaces are very limited for public tastings of this range. If you would like us to arrange a private session for three or more
people, email us at bar@3greekstreet.com)Whisky and Rum Tasting Event’s Private hire
