Great experience with impeccable service. - Very cute place with a great atmosphere. I'm not a whisky drinker but my wife is. She enjoyed what she had. I had the most delicious vodka drink so there are other drinks besides whisky. The bartender was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions and made some really good suggestions. We wish were able to spend more time there. It was the type of place you could enjoy a good drink with good conversation. We didn't feel rushed to leave and felt welcomed to stay as long as we wanted. We'd like to go back if we are ever in Inverness again.

Whisky Experience - Great place to sample whisky! We had such a great experience with our bartender Nick, that we went back the next night. Charlie and Olivia, though a little busier, were great hosts and mixologists. Awesome selection of whisky and a great evening.

Best experience in Scotland so far - Booked this event through Tripmasters when I was planning our trip to Scotland and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. We went early, were greeted by Charlie, went in took a look around and they were packed!! Nice and cozy but not your typical pub, it felt like you were invited to your best friend's home to sit around by the fire, sip some whiskey, tell some stories and be serenaded by an amazing superstar named David. We were treated and thoroughly felt like family, enjoying amazing Whiskeys from the region, stories of Scotland and song. Charlie has a wealth of knowledge of drink and David has the same of song and history of The Highlands. They are a terrific pairing for an amazing evening if you are traveling to Inverness, Scotland. It has been the best night of our trip so far and it will be hard to beat. Thank you for an excellent experience Charlie and David and the MALT ROOM Desiree and Scott Barrett

The Best Night learning about whisky and Scottish music - We stopped in Thursday day and spoke with Olivia at the bar. So friendly, warm and welcoming. Luckily for us there was room for us at the whisky tasting that evening. It was an incredible fun night! We learned not only about Scottish Whisky, but also about some Scottish music. Charlie explained the tastings and David told fun stories and described the songs he would perform. Both were amazing and no doubt the most fun way to learn about different whiskies. With Charlie's help that night, we figured out which whisky we wanted to purchase and went to the liquor store across the street from the Malt Room They were very reasonable and helpful and kind. I recommend both!

Comprehensive Tasting - Excellent introduction to wiskey. Most places offer you one sample to taste - here, they offer three (highland, Speyside, and malted) and walk you through what makes them different. Presenter was polished although I think he was a bit unclear on some technical details. Venue is great except that the dark stairs are hard to navigate after coming in on a sunny day. But still the best wiskey tasting I've experienced.
