I was in Dornoch on Wednesday with my husband and 19 year old son and we found the young man who served us to be very friendly and very knowledgeable about the whiskies and gins and he was very helpful especially with his in depth knowledge of whisky. A brilliant wee shop with a good range of whiskies and craft gins. Will be visiting again.
