Independent specialist whisky retailer

Our manager, Duncan, has been interested in whisky for longer than he can remember; starting, as so many do, with Glenfiddich 12yr. He then discovered eBay in the days where whisky could be traded there and subsequently whisky auction sites. His collection is varied and spans a multitude of styles and distilleries - opening bottles with friends remains a key part of the whisky journey for him. Enjoying whisky with friends is what brought him to Inverness Whisky via The Malt Room. He now hopes to share that journey and experience with customers in the shop.

Assistant manager, Malcolm, grew up with peat smoke often filling the air. Spending much of his time growing up on the west coast and the Isle of Skye, the phenols of those big Islay drams and beyond are a sweet reminder of simpler times. His father spent near 30 years in the malting industry, meaning peated malt (and peated whisky) was always also in the ether. Working at whisky festivals, in specialist bars and now here at Inverness Whisky his horizons and love for the water of life continue to expand; not least through the interactions and conversations across the counter.
