We chose The Scotch Whisky Experience with tasting and three course, fantastic! Emailed before my allergies and special diet and everything was prepared. Drinks with dinner apart from dessert are not included but oh so good and worth it!

Peter

The meals were excellent prepared where by every component was fresh and delicious. Even a simple vegetable as a carrot got elevated to a treat on its own. Go there!!

Judith

The amber restaurant was a delight. Food and service were amazing. The staff went above and beyond for us in our visit. Would highly recommend.

Francesca

Everything was perfection! Excellent service throughout. The food and drinks were delicious. This was our second visit, and we both got the sea trout again. That dish is wonderful, perfectly composed, the fish so fresh and expertly prepared, all the components harmonizing.

For whisky lovers, Amber is where dreams manifest. A library of liquid gold telling Scotland’s stories one dram at a time. I highly recommend the Taste of Scotland menu – a worry-free, expertly paired exploration that caters to both the curious and the open-minded. There’s also an à la carte menu that allows you to shape your own experience and craft a truly memorable meal.
