Exploring Edinburgh Whisky Pubs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2019
- In this weeks Edinburgh Vlog we are joined by fellow Edinburgh youtuber Shaun from Shaun Vlogs, where we start to explore some of Edinburgh's pubs that specialise in Whisky (Or scotch if you are from America). We visit 4 of central Edinburgh's whisky bars. We find the most expensive whisky to buy, and a bar that has almost 400 different whisky's in stock.

🥃 Great video and amazing to hang out as always 😊 I was a wee bit tipsy by the end 🤣
Thanks mate, it was a pleasure to have you join. Looking forward to the next time. 🥃
Loved this guys! My fav whisky is Laphroaig. As a woman, I often get a wee bit of stick for my interest in Whisky but it's all in good fun! Love going to the distilleries and learning about it. Theres a wee place on Jeffrey street that also does tastings for folk who may be interested x
Im not surprised! lol You could see it! 😂 I love both of you! Really entertaining vids! 😊
@Kristie C Thanks for ur reply. Yeah, some folk do say that! Xxx
Brilliant 👍 love how Shaun’s face gets redder throughout the video 🏴
Oh wow! I was excited for this video when you posted the sneak peek, but I am even more tickled to discover that you teamed up with Shaun, whom I also follow. How cool! Thanks for another fantastic video. I hope you guys had fun! You're the best.
Filbeckistan great to see a few people from my channel here too 😊
Just left the Whisk(I) bar on the mile. Absolutely the best whisky pub I have been to. Shawn the bartender is young but knowledgeable. He is from Ireland and loves to talk whisky.
Be well guys’ll!
Joe
Great video Tony, I also watch Shaun's channel. Thanks to you both. 44 days until I see Edinburgh! (happy dance) LOL
Hope you have a great time.
I'm an afficionada of all these pubs.😁 The Whiski Bar on the Mile is my favourite to take a wee dram of Highland Park, which originates from Orkney. A beautiful light whisky and a favourite of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus!
Visit The Whiski Bar or Ensign Ewart on the right evening and you can catch The Gorms playing traditional tunes. The evening can get riotous!
How about that for a subject Tony? Where to enjoy great live music?
Grand to see you & Shaun together again. Loved the way Shaun's cheeks got pinker & pinker after each dram. 😊 Thanks so much. Sláinte! 🥃
Its in the list to do music venues. Will get to it eventually.
Gill Finlayson haha thanks for noticing Gill - I was a wee bit tipsy by the end 🤣🤣🤣
@@shaunvlog I always have pink cheeks when I'm in Edinburgh too, Shaun! 😆 I subscribe to your channel too, but great to see you both conspiring to entertain us. Ta!
@@ClanBroonford Look forward to it. I always book my seat to see The Gorms when I'm up! Cheers.
My two favorite Edinburgh UA-camrs. Nice to see the two of you get together for this video. The Ensign Ewart is my first day must go for the Venison Casserole (amazing) when staying in Edinburgh. Nice Pub to finish up at. As always greatly appreciated and always fun watching.
Its a lovely little pub.
You cany beat a wee dram cheers
Great to see you two together your chemistry is beautiful to watch please make more..PS what's this cheers business.. We have our own Scottish toast....ggtthb.
Thats a very fair point. Sorry.....Sláinte
Francis Deans thank you Francis glad you like it 😊
What a treat , 2 of my favourite Scottish UA-camrs together !. You should visit the Holyrood distillery the first new local single malt in around 100 years & check the Leith distillery website that will be opening up next to Ocean Terminal & Royal Yacht Brittania. Another idea for a great video would be 3 of Edinburgh's oldest pubs , the White Hart Inn ( 1516 ) in the Grassmarket , the Golf Tavern ( 1456 ) in Bruntsfield & the Sheep's heid Inn ( 1360 ) in Duddingston & while you are there pop into Dr Neil's Garden around the corner next to the Kirk , it is such a beautiful location !. I hope you were not driving home after all those 'wee' drams !!! , Shaun in particular looked a bit tipsy , thanks so much for a wonderful vlog.
All these ideas are on the lift. Thanks
So glad the Broonfords and Shaun are collaborating. I am not a whisky drinker, but I loved seeing all these pubs.
Both my favorite Edinburgh You Tubers! Must see more of these with Shaun..
Love it when y'all join each other for the vlogs!! My dad who was not Scottish, he always had one dram on New Year's day of Glenfiddich. I should find a whisky I like to honor his memory this New Year's. Slainte. Thank you for the comprehensive tour!
Y'all Rock!💙🏴🇺🇸💙
What a brilliant collaboration! More of these- you two are great together. Love this, and the other one that you did with Shaun at the Fringe Fest.
I've watched most all videos on both your channels and I think you guys style compliment each others perfectly. Great video.
I have no ideia they could know each other!!! Nice video... Next time in Edinb I believe I can try some whisky. Thank you guys. Good tips!!
Really enjoyed this video. I love how you’re so passionate about your Scottish heritage, We’re in the North East of England and at this time I wish they’d move the border. I can trace Scottish roots back to four generations, hubby who’s a Wallace can’t get back after eight generations so far! Was hoping to come to Edinburgh for my birthday,in October but apparently I’m off to London, so we’ll not be back until Christmas. Keep up the good work, love my Saturday viewing
Perfect time of the year to visit Linda! It won't dissapoint!
I love these vlogs with Shaun. Thanks for the tips!
It was great seeing the two of you together. I try to watch both of your videos. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! I loved this so much!!!!
Two Great vloggers working together NO EGO'S! I've been waiting for whisky related subjects[or Pubs] this is in my top 3 favourites. Great job!
Thanks so much. We had a lot of fun.
Such a lovely informative video, I really need to visit again soon, nice to see you and Shaun vlogging together, thanks for sharing i think this wee video series will go down well😉
I’m so glad to have stumbled across this video. I enjoy the videos that both of you post and I’m looking forward to visiting Edinburgh next month. Than for sharing your local knowledge.
What a nice surprise. Ha! We’re getting ready to visit Scotland in October and I’ve been watching Shaun’s videos and then found yours. Thanks to the both of you for making the BEST informative videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely love you pair! ❤ Another fab vid! 😊👍
Perfect timing Tony! Thank you for this!
I really enjoyed that, thank you both!
Great video! Going to Scotland in October! Soooo excited!
Watched this again after finally trying Whisky at the Scotch Whiskey Experience a few days before you posted this video and now love the stuff. So it is really fun to watch this after I went to a couple of distilleries. You guys did a great job.
That was a great surprise, too see you both in same video. Always lovely too watch your videos.
Hi Shaun!! Great video for those who are into exploring the pubs for whisky. Wonderful colors!! I learned a bit.
My favourite whisky (B) is Balvenie Double Wood. The sherry cask finish gives such a wonderful, sweet fruit note that completely accentuates the malty tone of Scotch whisky!
Great collaboration guys. You two are my favourite vloggers! Just returned home from Edinburgh yesterday and I’m already missing it...
Braw video, Lad(s). It was good to see you doing another interesting collaboration. I agree, Tony, my favourite pubs would be like the Ensign Ewart, ...that felt more like 'traditional' pub. Oy, since when did I have a burger café in Edinburgh, ...I demand some back royalties😂🤣. Slàinte, Lad(s)
another informative and fun video to watch. Hope you got home safely....
Superb choices for the video! I love the Ensign Ewart. Nothing like sitting back under that portrait of the Waterloo cavalry charge, enjoying a fine scotch and the history of that establishment.
Arrived in Edinburgh today ( August 29) and looking forward to seeing many of the things you have covered in your past videos. Never thought I would be interested in going to a whiskey bar but after listening to you and Shaun I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for providing a great overview of Edinburgh with your programs. You are certainly a great ambassador for this fantastic city. John from Florida.
Thank you for your sacrifices to show us these great pubs. Awesome video!
Its a tough job, but someone had to do it.
I went to the Whiskey Experience (I think that was the name) near the castle when I visited Edinburgh. A little cheesy, but you gat a taste of several whiskys. You learned about whisky also. Love you having Shaun on, he’s great also.
Loved the video! The first pub was one I visited on my trip to Edinburgh, if I’m ever lucky enough to visit again I’ll have to check out some of the others.
Right up my alley!!!
Great video! Travelling to Edinburgh from Norway for the first time in June, so I will definitely try these places for Whisky!
Just got sent over from Shaun's channel and subbed straight away. Great content and may binge watch a few. Oh! By the way, I'm an Edinburgh gadge as well.
I'm not super-knowledgable on whisky. I, in general, make distilled drinks a rare treat. I bought a bottle of Oban back in 2010 when I visited there, but this summer will be my first visit to Edinburgh. This is a great tour. I do like peaty whisky though. When I drink whisky, I tend toward that.
Love Whiski, and the Ensing Ewart is one of our favorite places. Will have to check out the Bow Bar next time we're in.
Great video!
The bow bar was very cool, but i loved the atmosphere in the Ending Ewart.
Great video! Was there in Edinburgh recently and enjoyed quite a few drams. We're definitely whisky geeks but I love sherry whiskies more. next time if you're up for a part 2, go to Usquabae in Hope Street!
really great shortlist of a few top bars there guys. love the bow bar. if you are in the new town the black cat on rose street has a great selection. the interior of the cafe royal is amazing - so is their whisky. if you are in glasgow the pot still and the bon accord pub are the must visits for dram fans.
Will try to get to then at some point.
Will be in Edinburgh tomorrow for 3 nights!! Your videos have been ENORMOUSLY helpful to my husband and I. We even made reservations to the Pop Up Geeks because we are huge fans of "Stranger Things"...also took advise about goi g to see Harry Potter places of interest. Thanks again so very much...wish we could meet you and thank you in person!! Well done!
Brilliant, glad the videos helped. Hope you have a great time.
Tony! The 1st night I was in Edinburgh we went to the Whiski Bar on the Royal Mile. There was a bit of a wait for a table, so my sisters and I sat at the bar and ordered dinner. This is often done in America, but apparently not in Scotland. Who knew? Brilliant live music. A flight of whisky. My 1st ever sticky toffee pudding. Thanks for bringing back a great memory. ❤
Yeah, we don't really do the food at the bar thing. We just do drinking at the bar.
I have Irish whisky at home always for colds, Irish coffee to keep warm,I visited Glasgow whisky bar and next Edinburgh on list
Hi just discovered your videos last night and thanks extremely helpful and very Interesting. We coming up from Newcastle for my 60th 6 of us and can't wait , roll on 27th January 22
Glad it was helpful!
Had to chuckle at the Thunderstruck cover you're talkin over there after stop #1.
Hello Tony from Thomas. Thanks for this one on some of the places around the Mile to pop in for a wee dram of the Water of Life. I am actually enjoying a Talisker Storm as I post. We are heading back to Edinburgh the first two weeks of October and are looking forward to these establishments and many others. Since we stay on St Giles & Bank we are very close to the Whisky Rooms and Shop and it's high on the list as it's an "ARDBEG Embassy" as well. The Bow and Ensign Ewart are also high on the list and we hope to catch some Scottish Folk Music in them as well. Thanks again for doing these and thank you to Shaun as well ( we do watch him often too ). Oh, and I was chatting with a Gent at the Holyrood Distillery and mentioned you and he said you'd been in touch? Hope so as that would be a great video as it's high time that Edinburgh had it's own Whisky. Cheers Tony!
Such a great video. Made me want to rush out and buy a bottle of the water of life.
Shaun is awsome
15:42 in, guys a legend! 🤣
I'm going for a few wee drams later in September now. Look forward to it
Great video, I follow both of you
Sorry shaun it’s a pipette not a thimble that you use to put your droplets 💧 of water in your whiskey 🥃. Some amazing whiskeys out there. Fantastic video love your videos & keep up your amazing work 👍🏻
Will be in Edinburgh on 31st October till the 3rd so will give these bars a try as my friend a big whiskey fan,would love if you could do a real ale/ craft beer tour of pubs in Edinburgh as we will be attending the beer festival and would like to try as many local pubs as we can
I loved re-living my visit to Edinburgh! Y'all even sat at the same table that me and my bestie sat at in the whiski room. What was the scaffolding on Victoria street? Can't wait to come back! Cheers!
i'll be back again for the 3rd time in october !!! we have been to the bow bar every single time !!! scotland is so magical !!!! I will be celebrating my birthday in edinburgh !!! october here we come !!!!
What is this? A cross over episode? Great tips, will be sure to check these places out next time in Edinburgh!
My buckelist is to go to edinburgh fr manila and do a whiskey crawl like what you guys did! Gonna make it happen in 2024!
Good light in the window seat at Whiski Room. I am not a single malt drinker, but had a Dalwhinnie at Last Drop on our last night in the city. T, I see you creeping up to 5k followers. Best wishes.
Slowly getting there.
The place to do this in the USA would be Louisville Ky. Downtown there are several bourbon bars including inside the Galt house hotel where they feature 150 bourbons.
I think I would love Edinburgh.
Maybe I've found a new youtuber to start following @The Broonfords 🌞🌞. I always have a dry ginger in my spirits 🙋♀️
Welcome to clan broonford.
Loved this video ! what are your 6 fav pubs on the Royal Mile thanks Brian Connaughton
Hello. Loved the video.
Thank you very much.
You know the amount of times ive walked passed those pubs and never knew they were whiskey orientated... will definitely be making a detour into them next time im on the royal mile :-)
Tony. I am in Edinburgh from NYC. Grab a pint with us tonight!
That’s very kind of you, been working all day and home with the dogs already. Hope you have a great time.
Good Morning Mr. Broonford. Pleased to meet you. Oy Shaun! I haven't drank whiskey in a while. A quick question: What brand is o.k. to have with breakfast?
😂😂😂😂
Video done for 'research ' purposes I guess! 😆😆 , hope there were no sore heads!! 😏😏
Love Shaun, subbed to to his channel!
Don't know about Shaun, but i felt fine the next day.
Great video! I myself prefer a smokey whiskey.
I found it leaves and aftertaste though.
I'll be there in a couple days. What's a good place for a cozy atmosphere and some Scottish/Gaelic styled music (if any)?
Awesome video, and great to see you guys together! The Bow Bar is one of my favourites when in Edinburgh.
What was your favourite of the drams you tried?
I honestly don’t know. I really enjoyed the smoky one in the bow bar at the time. However the smoky taste stuck with me all night, which I was not a fan off. But truthfully I don’t know much about whisky. Need taught.
@@ClanBroonford i love a good smoky whisky, but once you've had one there is no going back, you have to drink smoky whisky for the rest of the night, simply because everything will taste of smoke!
If you guys are ever back in the Aberfeldy area then let us know, I (Gary) work in the distillery at Aberfeldy so would be more than happy to show you around.
Looked like you guys had a great pub tour though, and looking forward to the other bar-themed videos.
Next time we head up that way, we will send you a wee messaged. We did love the Moness resort.
@@ClanBroonford cool - I'll get a good tasting lined up for you!
It's a nice wee place, it's a great place to come for a weekend
The Dalmore 45 year old is £11,000 per bottle retail so it would be around £500 a shot, if they sold that. The 25 is still an amazing whisky............don't get me wrong.
That is one expensive drink.
You should taste FireOak Bourbon!
Hi I'm in Canada, and i drink FIREBALL - a fine Cinnamon Whiskey.
You guys should do a video of tasting different spirits from different countries
I adore whisky and wish I could be on a pub crawl with you...and now I've been with two of my favorite braw men! Dinnae have to share that with your lovely wives. This auld granny is a safe date!
I'm so thrown off. I live in Florida and seeing people wearing long sleeves, hats and jackets in August... I had to check the date of this video 😂✌ Cheers! I like a Crown with tea, honey and lemon. Currently on the tail end of a cold.
Oh its starting to get cold here now.
The tattoo sounds like something you guys should do a video on. Sounds fantastic.
Think they are quite strict on this.
@@ClanBroonford that's a shame. 😟
Ron Swanson approves. 😁
Good stuff! I don’t know how you guys did 4 drams without any food for soakage and we’re slurring your words. 😉
We paced ourself.
the thing with ice in your whisky is that it blocks the smell of the whiskey so you are stoping one of your senses.
Was that The Badpiper playing Thunderstruck in the background?
Very possibly, i remember hearing one playing star wars one time.
i like Glenlivet whiskey and and belvenie and Jameson's and Aberlour those are my favored at the moment but there could be more on the horizon if i try different ones more i am not a whiskey drinker at most i hate jack Daniels to Smokey and earthy for me i don't mind the fire because i can put coke in it and have a jd fire and i think its delish i could drink the whole bottle its so sweet but couldn't drink the original tho i used to like it with coke until i got sick from it and i hate the smell so i avoid it with a passion now i fancy trying the Oban one and the Ardbeg i cant remember if i have tried also the Glenmorangie whiskey maybe maybe no i could have had a few to many whiskeys and forget what i get bought from a friend lol
Tony may I ask a question? How is the tap water in Edinburgh for drinking? Will I need to plan to buy bottled water? Thank you!
The tap water in Edinburgh is perfect for drinking. We have what’s called soft tap water in the taps. Don’t waist money on bottled water.
@@ClanBroonford Wonderful! Thank you!
NEVER add water, NEVER add ice. NEVER EVER EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER. NEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEER.
As I said in the video, I am a novice and know nothing about whisky. It was the whisky room itself that gave us the water.
Don’t ask me how I know, but, they sell Whiski flavoured condoms at the Whiski bar’s gents toilets (bar 1)
Just take Whisky Stones when you like your dram a bit cooler (but you won't taste all the flavors!) but don't take ice. It'll water down the experience.
Did not know that, thanks. Like I said, I am a complete novice at whisky.
You remind me of James McEvoy
Which one of us?
You pal
@@robertbthomson1 I'll take that.
I don think Shawn could do many more shots. He was looking a little glassy.
