Chris Conway, of ScotlandWhisky, said

"Glasgow has a long and proud association with the Scotch Whisky industry and is world famous for its hospitality. So it's only right that through the "Whisky Bars of Glasgow', six renowned bars have joined together to highlight that connection."?

"We know pubs and bars are an important part of many visitors' experience of Scotland, as is the wish to try Scotch Whisky in its home country. "Whisky Bars of Glasgow' will ensure that visitors know where they can be ensured a great bar and whisky experience."?

Conway went on to say

"With Homecoming Scotland's Whisky Month beginning in May, this is the perfect time to launch the scheme and to build on the growing interest in whisky tourism. "?

Odd that all of those bars, except the Pot Still, are in the West End of the city from Charing Cross and beyond. We need more good whisky bars in the centre.

That's some walk in the Scottish weather! It's a great idea but the bars are too far apart.

Not much of a taxi ride though and probably more advisable if you are planning on visiting all 6 bars in one night.
