This was distilled in 1982, and bottled in 2009.

Please ask at the bar for a nip or a bottle only £95, including presentation wooden box/jute bag.

Platform 3 was again accredited with the Best Bar None award (GOLD standard). Best Bar None aims to reward licensees who provide good management, a safe and enjoyable environment for customers, discourage binge drinking and prevent alcohol-related crime. It encourages licensees to act responsibly and take pride in their premises and surroundings and, in doing so, put something back into the Town and their local community.

DRAM 2010

Platform 3 was named as a finalist in the DRAM Quality award..

Although Platform 3 is primarily a "talking" pub we do nevertheless play a full part in the social activities of the town and surrounding district.  In fact a great many of our "regulars" are involved in various ways in the life of the town, and you will sometimes see a poster on the wall advertising one of their events.

Platform 3 proudly sponsored the annual "Duck Race" again this year (don't ask - But it's great fun and raises funds for the Gala Day).  We also sponsor Annet House, the Linlithgow museum, which is well worth a visit, and we have in the past hosted a wedding reception for friends of our regulars.  You may sometimes meet the local MSP who uses the pub for meetings from time to time as she enjoys the ambiance and safe surroundings.

The pub also has:
• The golf team who play for the 'Sprinter trophy' (in memory of a past regular)
• The horse racing enthusiasts (supported financially by the pub).
• The whisky afficionados (distillery visits are arranged by the pub).
• An annual Burns' Night Supper for regulars (arranged by the pub).
• The Highland Games Club, run as a 'private venture' by regulars.
• A dominoes team which represents the pub in the local league.

A number of organisations and clubs, from both near and far, treat Platform 3 as place of choice to visit when refreshments and a bit of relaxation are felt to be in order.  For example after a particularly demanding rehearsal (or even another successful performance) the local thespians, The Linlithgow Players regularly call in as do the Edinburgh Hash House Harriers whose main aim seems to be to run about this part of Scotland at high speed in order to work up a thirst!  The members of Linlithgow Reed Band may also often be seen enjoying a well earned "libation" after a demanding session in the band practice room.
