What You Need To Know

Learn about the origins of the famous spirit and how it has spread across the globe. Sample a different whisk(e)y from each of the major countries that make it – Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Japan, India and the United States – and discover the unique flavours characteristic of each country.

All the guided tastings take place down in our atmospheric vaults, just around the corner from our subterranean cocktail bar, The Cellar Bar. The former cells of the Victorian police station that once occupied our venue, it’s converted into intimate booths, perfect for tasting sessions.

Each class lasts two hours, and every guest samples a handpicked selection of seven different whiskies whilst learning how to identify the distinctive traits and qualities of each region. The whisky tastings begin with a whisk(e)y-based welcome cocktail.

The format is as follows:
