Thanks to Yelp, I discovered this great store with a very helpful owner. He was eager to talk about his product and offered samples of those I was interested in. An important note, it's a little tricky to find, but Google maps will get you close. Like everything in the old part of Cologne, it's not really far from anything. Keep your eyes open for signs along the walk that offer you directions. I found it down a pedestrian only path, but there is a front entrance on a more regular thoroughfare. Have fun and enjoy some scotch that you may not be able to find anywhere else outside of Scotland.

Beim letzten Mal Strozzapreti gekauft, frisch: es war Mängelware, voller schwarzer Flecken vom Maschinenöl. Definitiv ein Abfallprodukt, schön, dass es hier als Feinkost verkauft wird. Sonst bloß nie etwas fragen, niemand hier kann einem weiterhelfen, und wenn dann nur in Zeitlupe. An der Kasse fehlt RIGOROS immer eine Artikelnummer, die die Kassiererin ebenfalls in Zeitlupe schnarchend irgendwann auftreibt. Wir machen nur noch einen grossen Bogen um den Laden.
