Highland WhiskyShop, Inverness

Highland Whisky Shop opened on Castle Street in Inverness in September 2021, founded by Ferit Gur after more than a decade working in the Scotch whisky trade, including running his own whisky importing company. The shop, positioned on the road leading up to Inverness Castle, stocks a wide range of single malt Scotch whiskies alongside Scottish gins and other spirits, and hosts tastings and whisky events for visitors to the Highlands. It trades as a single, family-owned shop rather than a branch of a national chain, distinguishing it from other whisky retailers in the city centre. Its focus on Highland and island distilleries gives it a curated range aimed at both collectors and those new to Scotch whisky.
