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...
