We’ve got some more handpicked recommendations from our Pitlochry team in-store for you this week, and Colas has chosen two absolute gems:

Glenfarcles 105 🥃 There's nothing that quite compares to this one. A sherry bomb at 60%, yet incredibly smooth and well-balanced. A high-quality dram for those who love bold flavours.

Cantillon Gueuze 🍺 A classic of spontaneous fermentation. Think farmyard vibes, ye**ty notes, and the charm of rustic farm ciders.

Pop in to chat with Colas and the rest of the team and grab one of these standout picks! 🛍

Pitlochry Picks: Lesley’s Winter Favourites 🍷

This winter, our Pitlochry Store Manager, Lesley, shares two of her seasonal must-haves.

First up is Biscardo Neropasso Originale Rosso Veneto, a beautifully intense ruby red wine that deepens to garnet as it ages. Expect a spicy bouquet with inviting hints of cherry, black cherry, and plum compote. Lesley loves pairing this with her favourite pizzas 🍝 A true winter warmer for just £13.50!

For something a little different, Lesley recommends 1792 Small Batch Bourbon. She loves it as an alternative to rum, with its rich caramel and toffee notes balanced by a satisfying bite. Perfect for sipping by the fire on a cold winter’s evening.

Which one will you choose to enjoy this season?
