A whisky afternoon tea at Cannonball restaurant and bar

Afternoon tea at Cannonball Restaurant & Bar on Edinburgh’s Castlehill is served with Glengoyne Distillery’s famous Teapot Dram Batch No.6. What a combination 🥃 and it will be available from the 2nd to 24th August, during Edinburgh Fringe.

Bottled in tribute to an old Glengoyne Distillery tradition, the Teapot Dram series pays tribute to the dramming days gone by. Workers at the distillery would be given three fingers of whisky, three times each day. To save face, the less seasoned stillman would discreetly pour some of their untouched drams into a copper teapot which sat on the canteen windowsill, ready for their colleagues to enjoy.

The sixth release in the Teapot Dram series, Batch No. 006 is matured in first fill Oloroso sherry oak casks and has a natural, rich amber hue and notes of cinnamon, marzipan and cloves. Bottled at cask strength, 2772 bottles of Teapot Dram Batch No. 006. Bottles are currently exchanging hands for £179!

It’s your choice to try some whisky alongside sweet/savoury or to finish with your dram. Try yours alongside the haggis cannonballs 😍

Served alongside your wee dram are delicate finger sandwiches, haggis cannonballs, Scottish smoked salmon, freshly baked warm scones with cream and homemade jam, and a selection of hand-made sweet treats with refreshing tea. Priced at £25 per person, the afternoon tea is not only tasty but served alongside a limited edition dram and in a building in the heart of historic Edinburgh.

We we’re gifted the afternoon tea to try, still thinking about those salmon scones. Fred was jealous when he heard that we had goodies, but sez he trusts our opinion on cakes and salmon
