The Dram of Churchtown is an independent and family run whisky and cigar shop with a dedicated whisky drinking lounge, cigar sampling lounge and secret beer garden. We are unique from most other whisky shops as we operate a 'try before you buy policy' on most of our bottles, including our whiskies, rums, gins, meads and other spirits. We offer whisky tasting experiences every Friday Evening and Cigar Club events once a month. No booking is required to use either the whisky or cigar lounges. If you are driving we offer miniature Dram bottles (25ml) to takeaway as well as tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Living in Churchtown, I have often walked past The Dram on Botanic Rd and thought, 'that looks an interesting little place'. After dabbling with whisky for about a year, with zero knowledge, my wife bought me a gift voucher for Christmas. I was able to book on the 'cask finish' tasting evening with a friend, and I wasn't disappointed. Charlie, who manages the shop is excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and to a novice like myself, I found him very helpful. We tried six different whisky's on the night, three from Scotland, two Welsh and one from Yorkshire. By the end of the talk, the whole group were all happily chatting and drinking more whisky as Charlie stayed open. I would highly recommend to anyone going along to one of these tasting events.

Website easy to use. Booking a whisky tasting for a present was very straight forward
Excellent whisky tasting experience. Host was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Amazing service from Darren and his team. Nothing is too much to make a gift special
I bought a gift for my Dad for Christmas. The owner contacted me to explain that there was only one left in stock and it was faulty, offered me a full refund or wait for new stock to arrive. He included some extras in the parcel as a thank you for being patient. Great customer service & products are fantastic!

Fantastic quality of products in gift box and personal delivery. Very pleased recipient.
Darren , as usual, very knowledgeable in his whisky and gave me numerous options that would cater for my tastes.
I purchased two bottles of single malt following his advise
Went to the Xmas Whisky Tasting last night. It was a very enjoyable evening. Darren was very freindly and informative whilst keeping the tasting informal. Definately worth doing and there is a lot of really nice whiskies that you won't find in the supermarket.
Chose the Whiskies of the World tasting experience which presented a great selection of whiskies I've not tried before. This was expertly delivered at just the right pace.
You don’t have to be a whiskey drinker to appreciate the ambiance of this shop
Excellent and friendly service .
Wrong item delivered told to keep this.
Immediate refund for the ordered item.
Will definitely use them again.

The Dram is a really fun shop and tasting lounge in Churchtown, so definitely worth a visit. I purchased two gift items online. Both are really nice and packed in a lovely gift box. Great communication and service too!
The Website was quick and easy to make a booking for my partners birthday for the whisky tasting. After visiting the shop he is really looking forward to the tasting session.
Warm welcome into the shop without feeling of being pressured to buy. Quick to offer us a whiskey taste. Guys who served us were very knowledgeable
