Head down Tariff Street and you'll find yourself in a bar that takes its whiskey seriously without being a complete snob about it. The sort of place where you can order a £12 dram or disappear down a rabbit hole with something rare—they've got the depth of stock to make either choice feel right. The room's got that warm, lived-in feel: exposed brick, decent lighting that doesn't make you squint, and enough character to keep things interesting without trying too hard. Staff know what they're doing, which makes a real difference when you're genuinely curious about what you're drinking.
