If you're visiting us and you're lucky enough to look under 25, our team will always ask you for some official ID to prove you're over 18, for you to have whisky while you're on tour. However, if you don't have ID, or you're under 18, don't worry! We'll give you #Scotland's *other* national drink - @irnbru! Luckily it looks just as awesome in our whisky collection!😍🥃🧡 .
