Tam's Drams is Open For Business

The shop, Tam's Drams, is owned by Tam Gardiner and is located in the busy Finnieston area of the city. It's right across the road from the Ben Nevis pub if you know where that is. (Good whisky pub)

At the back, behind the counter, is Collector's Corner which is stuffed full of limited and rare bottlings galore. Tam will sell your bottle for you, for a small fee, if you're adverse to eBaying it. Out front is a selection of small producers and independent bottlers: Tam preferring to deal with the kind of whisky you don't find in the supermarkets

The website will be online soon - http://www.tamsdrams.com/

a mate was telling me about this the other day, Glasgow certainly has room for a decent whisky shop.

another whisky shop is always welcome and small privately owned whisky shops like this often have a better choice of more unique bottlings and often offer a better service and often prices than the likes of "The Whisky Shop", i will have to give it a visit next time i am in Glasgow

Strangely the website tells me i am using an outdated browser even though i am using the latest version of internet explorer, version 8. Confused

Site looks ok and prices seem reasonable, seems to be lacking delivery info such as where they deliver to and for how much, they should get that sorted if they want to suceed online.

the web site has only been up for a few days.

Tam was saying he is trying to get more people through the door, and the web site will not show his entire stock.

If you are looking for anythng special then drop in he has a good selection

I would love to just pop in but its not that easy given the distance to the shop . Sad

Not having the delivery info and costs will put many off ordering
