Whisky in Glasgow
Glasgow has many options for whisky, though many may not be immediately be obvious for the passing tourist. Here are some good starting points:
The Whisky bar in Oran Mor on the corner of Byres Road and Great Western Road has a large selection of whiskies. It's a great starting point for the beginner; if you make yourself known to the staff as something of a newbie, then somebody in here will certainly be able to guide you through the different regions and tastes.
The Pot Still at 154 Hope Street, a few blocks north of Central Station. It stocks over 300 single malt whiskeys (as well as other drinks, of course), and the staff really know their stuff. It's also an excellent example of a traditional British pub, with a great atmosphere.
Other great options are:
The Ben Nevis, 1147 Argyle St, towards the West End.
Bon Accord , at 153 North Street, near the Mitchell Library at Charing Cross, with over 230 whiskies.
Formerly, Uisge Beatha (pronounced "ooshke beh-hah", Gaelic for "whisky" and translated literally as "water of life") was a great whisky bar with a fantastic folky atmosphere, impromptu live music, and a massive selection of drinks. It has since closed.
