Any Leeds area specialist whisky shops?

[mcanny]

I was hoping to be able to take a whisky fan to a bit of a specialist to pick a present next week, we generally go up to the Watershed Mill in Settle because they have a chap there and he lets you sample stuff but we'll be in Leeds and the money saved on fuel can go towards a nicer bottle.

Are there any specialist shops in the area that you can recommend?

I've posted this up in the Yorkshire section as well but wanted to cover the enthusiast angle too if possible

Maybe we'll end up in Costco but if you have any ideas please let me know, I had a bit of a Google but didn't come up with anything obvious other than a place at the other side of York.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get an idea of the more normal stuff he likes in an attempt to pick a good one along the same theme. I should have paid more attention in previous years

Have a drive up to Stamford Bridge, get the fish & chips from Thompsons then pop in here - all sorts to choose from!
