The official whisky of The Canny Man's, Morningside, Edinburgh.

The Canny Man’s is actually a nickname for the public house as the pub’s original name is the Volunteer Arms, a traditional name used for bars back in the late 1800’s.

In 2024, we worked with the Kerr family to bring their family's original house malt, The Golden Drop, back to life!

Long-time patron David Park describes this fifteen year old blended malt best. “It feels like you’re drinking history. Every sip tells a story — but it’s so smooth, so balanced. You can tell every detail has been thought through.”

You can read the story in the Scotsman.

Exclusively available online from us but best enjoyed in The Canny Man!

How to enjoy it

Neat, first. Pour a measure and give it a minute — a good Scotch says most of what it has to say before you add anything.

Then a drop of water. Still, room-temperature water opens up the nose and softens the spirit. Add it slowly; you can't take it back out.

A good glass helps. Something tulip-shaped draws the aromas towards you — a tumbler looks the part but lets them drift off.

Storing it. Upright, out of direct sun, cap tight. It won't age in the bottle the way wine does, but it's not frozen in time either — a fresh blend can take a little while to marry, and a half-finished bottle will drift a touch over the months. Nothing to fuss over.

Delivery & returns

Free UK delivery on every bottle, no minimum spend. Orders outside the UK show shipping at checkout — duty and taxes to the USA are included in that cost.

Dispatched within 48 hours. Each bottle is blended and labelled to order, so occasionally it takes a little longer — we'll always get it moving as fast as we can. Someone of legal drinking age must be able to receive it.

Returns: unopened ready-made bottles can be returned within 30 days. Personalised and custom-blended bottles are made to your order, so they can't be returned unless there's a fault. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, email info@whiskyblender.com straight away and we'll put it right.
