The Dram is an independent, family owned and family run business born out of our love for both fine whiskies and masterfully crafted cigars.
Our aim is to provide an experience different to most whisky shops with sampling, exquisite customer service and education at the heart of everything we do, whether attending one of our Tasting Events or searching for the perfect gift!
We also now have the very first Cigar Sampling room in Sefton and one of only a handful in the North-West, complimented by our large stock of Cuban, New World and Davidoff cigars. When the sun is shining you can also enjoy drinks and cigars outside in our Secret Garden or come along to our Cigar Club events held on the first Sunday of the month.
Who we are
The Founder and Owner of The Dram, Darren Boyd-Preece was born in Ayrshire on the West coast of Scotland and spent most of his working life in the building management industry. In 2022, he followed his dream to work with what he loves, setting up The Dram with the help of his Wife, Rebecca and children Elliot and Sophie to build it into the shop, lounge and experience it is today!
At the end of 2024, Charlie Holmes was employed as Manager to continue and expand upon the hard-work and foundations laid by Darren. Charlie, originally a customer since day one and lifelong whisky fanatic, has always been enthused by the history and processes of whisky and is the friendly face you’ll find behind the desk on your next visit!
