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.

First visit to a tasting event

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.

Great company

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!

Enjoyable Whisky Tasting

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.

Whiskies of the World

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.

Great find for whiskey lovers

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!
