🎭THE FRINGE IS OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR 🥃

The performers have packed up, the costumes are back in the suitcase, and the Royal Mile feels strangely quiet...

So naturally, there's only one thing left to do: have a wh**ky.

At The Albanach, we're keeping the Edinburgh spirit going with a proper local line-up:

🥃Bonnington — Edinburgh-born and ready to
misbehave
enough
🥃Holyrood — for when one dram simply isn't
🥃Glenkinchie — a little further out, but still proudly from the Edinburgh neck of the woods

Come raise a glass to surviving another Fringe.

Slainte! 🥃
