AD | Where to Buy Your Christmas Drinks in Perthshire

Nestled on Atholl Road in the heart of Pitlochry, Drinkmonger has long been part of the town’s fabric, as a place for Perthshire locals to pop into for a bottle and end up staying for a chat. It’s a welcoming corner for those who appreciate good wine, spirits or need a bit of expert help to find the right gifting bottle.

Opened in 2011 as a sister business to Royal Mile Whiskies in Edinburgh (named Specialist Spirits Retailer of 2025 by the Spirits Business). The shop was founded to create a space where people could explore an interesting and ever-changing range of bottles without any of the fuss or formality. More than a decade on, Drinkmonger has earned its place as a much-loved fixture in the town, known for its relaxed atmosphere, friendly faces, and thoughtful selection.

Featuring wines from small, family-run vineyards, craft beers from Scottish breweries, and whiskies that range from well-known favourites to rare finds and their own exclusive, independent bottlings. Local producers feature proudly too, with Perthshire gins and Highland malts distilled in close proximity to the shop, all chosen by the team’s experienced wine and spirits buyers.

At this time of year, the team are on hand to help you find exactly what you need for Christmas, whether that’s a standout sparkling wine for the table, a few great-value bottles for hosting, or an affordable but thoughtful gift. Their shelves include a large range of excellent options under £15 alongside festive favourites and limited seasonal offers.

It’s the perfect time to stop by and chat with the team, see what’s new, find a unique Christmas gift or rediscover an old favourite to enjoy over the festive period from one of Scotland’s many brilliant independent producers.
