Dràm Mòr is an independent spirits bottler established in 2019 by husband and wife team Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald. This couple are masters in the art of whisky tastings as they are the co-founders of the Mòr Whisky Club held at Oran Mòr, Glasgow. Kenny & Viktorija use their whisky expertise to source exceptional casks and spirits for bottling. In recent years, they have expanded their portfolio to include specially selected rums and Armagnac. Dràm Mòr means 'Big Whisky' in Scottish Gaelic so this is guaranteed to be a cracking Whisky Club! Drams for the tasting to be announced soon.

    All good. Emery provided a very informative guided tour of the distillery . Staff were friendly and food and drinks were great value for money . Only down side for us was that the surrounding area is like a building site. Look forward to returning in 5 years to hopefully a more pleasant outlook

    Excellent service and food lovely though a small menu. Every detail thought of. Fantastic views as you're so high. We had cocktails but lots of options for drinking. Note not great if you have vertigo as windows to the floor.

    Really enjoyed our dinner here. We came on a six nations match day and had the pie and pint. The pie was amazing. We also had chips and that carrots. Had some great drinks the gimlet was amazing. Regret not ordering off the main menu because the food other tables had looked incredible. Gorgeous views and a really lovely place. Hope to come back and do the tour. Only decided to go as we randomly saw an Instagram post whilst trying to decide where to go for tea and glad we did.

    Food was excellent and the setting at the top of the building provided amazing views. The scallops were amazing as was the smoked haddock scotch egg. Service was excellent and our group would definitely recommend it.
