The stock in The Whisky Cellar has been carefully curated by Murray Lamont, a Highland whisky and wine connoisseur. In addition, he and his wife and business partner Ellie are proud owners of Mackays Hotel in Wick and The Whisky Cellar’s sister wine and whisky shops, Bin Ends, in Wick and Thurso. For Murray, whisky is about taste and flavour, and about matching the right dram to the right occasion. But above all, it’s personal. It’s about people, and memories, and friendships. Good food, good wines and good whisky are about more than fuel and alcohol; they are about good friends – and making good memories. A purchase from the Whisky Cellar could be the start of making many more.
