Podcast:

We interviewed Paul McDonagh, owner of the Bon Accord in our September 2021 podcast.

Paul says a dram of whisky is like a conversation in your hand – there's so much to know and talk about from the taste to the way it's been distilled. ⁠He also tells us about what makes the Bon Accord truly special, the many whisky clubs that call it home, and his favourite dram, the GlenDronach 18 Year Old.


The Pub:

What began as a pub specialising in real ale and pub grub, has been cultivated carefully over the years into a specialist whisky bar, we've even won the UK Whisky Bar of the Year.

The Bon Accord is a haven for real ale enthusiasts and whisky drinkers alike. Or even just those who love our world famous steak pie. We are home to The Bon Accord Whisky Society and many other whisky societies in Glasgow. We also help run Glasgow's Whisky Festival. We also offer one off whisky tastings for groups, please give us a call if this interests you.


The Whisky:

We sell more than 800 different real ales per year and we have more than 500 whiskies on our gantry. Yet the quality of our selection does not suffer. We have many old and rare whiskies; the pinnacle of our collection being our 70-year-old Glenlivet and the 72-year-old Macallan. We have our own online WHISKY SHOP, have a look if you fancy a browse.

With 5 Malt Whisky Clubs meeting each month we are the place to go for Malt Whisky lovers in Glasgow. We also have a large selection of blended malts, bourbons and other whiskies from all over the world.
