text: I've very mixed emotions about Albanach. \n\nOn the one hand they do have a magnificent collection of mouthwatering whiskies. Then again, it's your eyes that'll be watering at the amount of cash you will have to dredge from the darkest recesses of your wallet for the pleasure. \n\nAnother, and frankly much worse, infringement on my whisky sensibilities is the fact that while Albanach is happy to serve you a dram of whisky for \u00a330+ they slosh it into a straight sided tumbler for you. \n\nImagine, gents, the promise of Ursula Andres, only for her to come out of the sea wearing a submarine. Ladies, for the purposes of empathy, feel free to substitute David Niven or some similarly suave sex symbol. \n\nThe staff are quite good though, I mean, they put up with me telling them how crap their glasses are every time I go in.\n\nIn short +1 for whisky, -1 for cost, -1 for glasses, +1 or staff - it's a sum zero proposition, but fine for that (semi) posh 'one or the road'.
