It's Springbank time baby!

Breakeven is the 1994 vintage release, yours to try for the low-low price of £37.50/35ml dram...

We have been made aware that a group/organisation called "Tech Social" are selling tickets on Eventbrite for meetups at the Ensign Ewart every Friday at 6pm.

Far as we can tell this is a scam, we have no agreement with the group and are not involved/making any money from these ticket sales.

I have asked them to remove us from their listing, but please don't buy tickets to these events, we sell tickets to any events at the pub via our own website.

Much love.

We've done some mad bottles over the years, but this might top them all!

A 4.5 litre bottle of 2000's Uigeadail. Some might say, peak Uigeadail.

We paid about £900 for this monster at auction, all so you can try a dram from a giant bottle of amazing whisky for the low, low price of £8.41 for a 35ml dram.

What better way to celebrate 2026!

Please note that as bottle = big and bar = small, we will be decanting the big one into the wee one to pour it for you, about 6 1/2 times if you're counting...

Couldn't find a banana for scale, sorry.

What's better than one bottle?

That's right, five bottles!

To celebrate Cadenheads revamped shop exclusive handfill range, we've got one of each for you at breakeven...

There's the unpeated bourbon and sherry cask matured blended malts, the peated one and even a fantastically funky blended rum for you malternatives out there.

Bottles will fetch you £58 for a 70cl (they also do half bottles and smaller sample sizes too) which means you can try a dram with us for £2.90 and then toddle down to their Canongate shop and pick up your very own.

And as odd numbers are better than even numbers (don't @ me) we've also added a 10 Year Old Dalmunach bottled recently for the Cadenheads Club, for the even-more-reasonable-price of £2.75!

On the Royal Mile. In 2026.

P.S. usual rules apply - one breakeven/per person/per bottle/per visit and buy a hauf to wash it down with please. Tell your friends.

New things galore this fine Friday afternoon!

Fragrant Drops, North Star, Thompson Bros (including a blast from our past), Cadenhead's, two (two!) Talisker and more!

Too many to list, you'll just have to visit us to find out (or swipe, I'm not your Maw).

Also the AI overlords keep prompting me to add music to my posts to increase reach, so enjoy this ditty.

Macallan didn't last long, so here's a suitably ridiculous follow-up!

This 35 year old Bowmore was bottled by the fine peeps at Royal Mile Whiskies, and you can try a dram for the measly price of £11.10.

Don't say we're not good to you.

25 year old Macallan at cask strength for £14.55 a nip?

Must be Speymalt from and it must be our next !

For those of you who are new to the concept, we take a sought after bottle of whisky and sell it on to you at no profit - we break-even on the price! We only ask that if you are visiting the pub for our breakeven bottles, you buy another drink at full price (we recommend half a Silkie Stout with this one). Fair enough.

Not to be confused with "breakeven" whisky that certain other whisky bars nearby offer which seem to be just full priced whisky...

Oh aye, and we're 35ml pours an' all.

26/04/2026
