They have a large selection of whiskeys, both domestic and foreign. They have several sampler sets which make great presents and are super easy to pack so you can get several small bottles and still be under the legal limit when returning state side

We don't know much about whisky, and what we do know is about American whiskey, which many would…read moreargue isn't even close. Since we were in Oxford for a few days before heading to Scotland, and since my sister-in-law works at Lincoln college across the road, the Whisky Shop was our obvious choice to get some information and be prepared for our trip north. I didn't catch the employee's name who helped us, but he was great. He took the time to patiently explain everything, telling us which distillieries to be on the lookout for on our trip, which ones are smoky and peated, which ones we could get outside the UK, what is unique about their own line of whiskys, and more. We ended up with a good sized bottle of The Old Malt Cask, where the company visits the major respected distilleries (ours is from Scapa) and buys a cask or two from them that they age longer and then put into bottles without adding any flavor or coloring. We also got some of the 4 packs of small bottles from Ben Riach, since they had peated and non-peated of relatively the same stuff, giving us a great way to understand the difference of flavor and style, particularly since Ben Riach is a speyside whisky, with inherently different style than the island whiskys we tried. My sister-in-law also went back for us when our train was delayed to buy some additional items, including a medium sized bottle of one of their Whisky Shop labels that we plan to set aside for when our sons are old enough to enjoy it with us. She mentioned that the guy was just as helpful and thorough in dealing with her. In short, if you want to learn a lot about all types of Whisky, this is a great place to stop.

What this usually means is that they have a beer a few weeks or months past dead, so they sell it all for a ridiculously cheap price. is it dangerous? No. Potent? yes. It seems that people get drunker faster when the beer is old :) its always been very popular with young people. I myself bought single med sized bottles of a range of odd beers here all for 44p each! you just cannot beat that. as well as the out of date beers there is a fine selection of normal dated wines and brew - all still cheaper then most other mainstream places.

You want alocohol, you get it. The displays are clear, there are good promotions on wine and beer, for example: £6.50 for a 12-pack of Carlsberg or half-price wine of the month. It does some reasonable quality wines, but is also great for slightly unusual but very affordable bottles for dinner parties or just a treat. There are also some snack foods at one side of the store, although they're just like a tiny bit of a motorway service station shop, so pop along to Subway down the road instead unless you're really in a hurry.
