Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstAlpha & Ωmega
Sherry, Madeira or Marsala poured beside the whisky that was finished in that cask. A clever twist on the hauf and hawf, the old Scots order of a dram and a half-pint.
Tipsy Midgie
Scotch whisky bar · single malts and whisky tastings · Southside (St Leonard's), Edinburgh
67 St Leonard's Hill, Edinburgh EH8 9SB
A St Leonard's whisky bar that says it pours the largest single-malt list in Edinburgh, with a chef, Colin, who pairs drams like dishes. The Alpha & Omega menu pours the wine a cask once held beside the whisky it shaped.
The proof, in the house's own words
Why Alpha & Ωmega
Craft
Colin built the menu around the casks behind some of whisky's finest drams.
Technique
The cask's own wine beside the finished whisky: you taste what the wood gave.
Tradition
An old pub habit, reworked for whisky lovers.
“Is this the most sophisticated hauf and hawf yet!!”
