A Dundee pub has opened a new whisky bar with 250 bottles from around the world.
Part of the Star & Garter on Union Street has been turned into The Whisky Saloon.
Owners John and Thomas Justice have built up their collection by adding rare bottles from auctions in recent months.
John, 68, says customers can enjoy tipples ranging from £5 to £50 per drink.
He said: “There was discussion about turning this area of the Star & Garter into a cocktail bar.
“We felt a whisky saloon was more in keeping with the look and feel of the pub.
“There have been renovations made to this part and we’ve got a large offering of whiskies.
“We have been sourcing some of the bottles through recent auctions.”
The saloon will also be holding tasting experiences with the hope of introducing a new generation of customers to the drink.
Tasting experiences planned at The Whisky Saloon in Dundee
John said: “Our tasting experiences have already generated interest.
“We’ve got a group from Austria who have booked in for a tasting when they visit Dundee next month.
“We are aware younger ones maybe aren’t whiskey drinkers.
“Through tasting experiences and, in time, whisky cocktails, we’re hoping people will find a tipple.
“There are blends that might be smoother and sweeter starting points for beginners.
“We officially open this week but it’s already been a hit with Americans who have paid a visit.
“There are 250 whiskies, it’s certainly one of the biggest offerings locally.
“We’ve got Japanese, Irish, English, Highland and Islands whiskies on offer and we’ve got more tastings planned for the future.”
The opening night is being held on Thursday.
