The Malt List
All whisky, gin, vodka and rum in this establishment is served in 35ml measures, the largest single legal measure available in the UK since the country was booted into the EU to make new jobs in Brussels for out of work MP’s. Most other bars serve 25ml- what we offer is 40% more in your glass. All our malts are served in the Glencairn whisky glass with freshly poured Scottish spring water.
The Canny Man’s has been given the gold award by Whisky Magazine for ‘outstanding presentation, promotion and knowledge of great whiskies from around the world.’ We have over 240 malt whiskies here at the Canny Man’s and some are so rare that they can only be found in private collections. Enjoy...
