We are all used to seeing vending machines featuring various snacks and drinks, but whisky? This vending machine is full of it. It’s stocked full of whisky from Whisky-Me, a boozy subscription service in the U.K. The machine is situated in this spot is because the company was started in the Black Rock bar located in the hotel.

If you’re a member of the subscription service, you can receive rare and hard-to-find whiskies every month. In the presence of this machine, however, you don’t have to wait any longer than it takes to make a simple transaction. For only £7.95, you can grab a 1.7-ounce pouch featuring a birthday whisky to celebrate the brand as well as whiskies featuring The Macallan, Aberfeldy, and Royal Lochnagar from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.
