Our Sampling Barrel offers a few good drams to taste (in-shop tasting samples are always free of charge).

For well over a decade we have been proudly showcasing Tomintoul and Glencadam Single Malts.

Owning these two distinct single malt distilleries Angus Dundee Distillers has a strong reputation and a growing number of awards, including multiple gold and double gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge.

In our shop you can explore a wide range from our local (second by distance) Tomintoul distillery and their sister Glencadam known for maintaining traditional, unchanged production methods for nearly two centuries, including using two pot stills since its inception.

🐤 2026 Ballater Duck Festival https://fb.me/e/6UOIxGzj1

See our Scotchy bring the Highland thunder at 3pm on Sunday 7th June. Arrive from 11am on The Greens for craft, food and trade stalls plus kids’ rides — then have a flutter on the tote and back the tartan torpedo of the Dee.

4. Scotchy
Sponsor: Caledonian Collectables

Duck No: 4
Age: Well Aged
Height: Two whisky kegs tall
Special Skills: Tartan tailwinds, ceilidh grade footwork, and motivational battle quacks
Crazy Fact: Claims to have headlined three loch side ceilidhs (no witnesses willing to confirm)
Motto: “ALBA GU BRÀTH — and mind the splash!”
Favourite Food: Shortbread crumbs and a celebratory dram of (strictly) river water
Habitat: The Caledonian Collectables window display (front row, naturally)

A tartan clad traditionalist with a proud Highland quack, Scotchy barrels down the river with the determination of a duck who’s seen too many ceilidhs and refuses to be out danced or out raced. Known for shouting “ALBA GU BRÀTH!” as he surges past competitors, Scotchy treats every bend of the River Dee like a dance floor — and every splash like a standing ovation. If you hear the battle quack, it’s already too late: he’s coming through.
