The Noble Warrender

Our first WeeBox arrived!! If you haven't noticed, we love everything to do with Scotland.

If you like whisky and/or tobacco, and (BONUS!) if your name is Jeffrey, we've discovered a place just for you! Jeffrey St Whisky & Tobacco shop* is located in the heart of Edinburgh Scotland on, you guessed it, Jeffrey St, just off the Royal Mile .  They carry their own label, which you can sample. 👍 So much tobacco!  Notice the warning labels. If you're wondering where your whisky comes from, here's a map to help. Fancy Fancy!! *If you'd like to check in with the shop, here's a link to their website.
