I Know. I am doing it again. Can’t help myself. Seriously. But hey, \u00a0there’s nothing wrong about introducing a new series of articles around here right?<\/strong> (Or is there? Because I remember this other time… I thought it would be a series and then I lost interest and… Oh well, that happens – And yet again I’m reaching this point where I’d like to insert an old-school French saying but just can’t ’cause only a small percentage of you will get it… Oops feel like way too much bracketed chit-chat<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Anyway, you know me now, I’ve never hidden my shopping addiction around here, and thus, this addiction lead me to visit quite a few whisky shops in quite a few different countries… I then thought it would be high time to come up with a kind of “shopping guide” for you guys – also as I often receive messages asking me “where to buy this or that while in France\/Spain\/Scotland\/Whatever<\/em>” – I couldn’t leave you all lost in your spirited quests and I decided to highlight all my favourite whisky retailers (this series won’t be talking about online-only shops though – I’ll probably come up with a “all in one” piece about this later this summer as there’s also a lot to say)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"llllll\"<\/p>\n

Let’s then kick off this new series with one of the most iconic whisky retailers in Scotland : The Whisky Shop Dufftown!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Afficher<\/p>\n

The Whisky Shop Dufftown<\/a> is based in the very heart of Speyside and offer an exceptional selection of over 600 whiskies and related items for you to buy or just stare at (Yes, I quite enjoy doing that while whisky shopping, I could litteraly spend hours checking bottles one by one… \u00a0Hello nevrosis!)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What I also particularly like with The Whisky Shop in Dufftown (aside from their huge malted selection) is the way they have managed to be considered as an “independent whisky information centre” – like they say<\/em>. \u00a0You’ll always get the best advices there, potentially some drams to taste (always a nice selection open for tasting) and an incredibly warm welcome (I mean, this is Speyside right? What did you expect?!)<\/p>\n

Another plus side for me is the huge amount of independent bottlings you’ll find in there! A real gold mine for whisky wanderers brave enough to dig into less common names & distilleries. I had the chance to particpate in their special “independent bottler challenge” during Spirit of Speyside Festival this year and I can tell you there are some real gems to check out!<\/p>\n
