Positioned as a destination for both whisky purists and experimental cocktail lovers, Mirth brings together classic malts and contemporary interpretations, celebrating Scotland’s “water of life” through a thoughtfully designed menu.

For the occasion, Mirth’s mixologists have introduced a signature Scotch cocktail selection that explores bold flavour pairings while staying rooted in whisky character. Among the highlights is Pour Me A Slice, a daring creation featuring Dewar’s 12 infused with Gouda and blue cheese, balanced with honey, bitters, and cherry–hibiscus-infused sake.

With its focus on storytelling through spirits, Mirth promises an evening of refined pours and relaxed energy. As the bar continues to push boundaries in modern mixology, International Scotch Day becomes an opportunity not just to drink whisky, but to experience its evolution one sip at a time.
