Yes, the Scotch Whisky Experience does have a restaurant. Amber Restaurant and Whisky Bar serves seasonal produce in traditional Scottish style; it’ll come as no surprise that it suggests the perfect whisky to accompany your meal, too. Signature dishes include chicken with whisky sauce and, of course, haggis.

Yes, the Scotch Whisky Experience is completely wheelchair-accessible, thanks to elevators to every level of the building, an automatic door at the entrance, and accessible restrooms. Hearing loop technology and audio guides are available on all of the tours, and assistance dogs are welcome.

Yes, there is a gift shop at the Scotch Whisky Experience. You can buy the full range of whiskies here (and you can try them first at the Whisky Bar at Amber Restaurant). While the shop doesn’t ship outside of the UK, all bottles are packaged in an inflatable bottle bag to protect them.
