I find myself in Edinburgh every year or so.  Royal Mile Whiskies has become a necessary destination each time I visit.\n\nThough in a heavy tourist area, this is a great store.  Prices are reasonable and the customer service is the best.  They have a great selection of Scotch Whisky and will let you try a wee dram or two while you're shopping.  They even sell some US bourbon that you can't get in the US.\n\nAnd, they ship to the US.  I always get my shipment promptly and intact.\n\nRoyal Mile Whisies gets my highest recommendation.
