“The water was not fit to drink. To make it<br />

palatable we had to add whisky. By diligent<br />

effort I learnt to like it.”<br />

Winston Churchill.<br />

The <strong>Whisky</strong> <strong>Lounge</strong> is a place to escape the hustle<br />

and bustle of London and enjoy a wee dram.<br />

The <strong>Whisky</strong> <strong>Lounge</strong> is here to help you indulge in<br />

your pleasure of whisky. We have over 70 different<br />

whiskies, of which most are displayed around you<br />

in the cabinets.<br />

On the <strong>Whisky</strong> list there is a brief tasting note for<br />

each whisky so you can consider what you are<br />

looking for, if not ask one of the team who will be<br />

happy to help.<br />

If you are not a connoisseur then take a “<strong>Whisky</strong><br />

Flight” where you can taste the best of Scotland,<br />

America or <strong>Whisky</strong> from England and Wales too.<br />

George Bernard Shaw the playwright said<br />

“<strong>Whisky</strong> is liquid sunshine” and here you<br />

can enjoy the warmth of whisky, with or<br />

without mixing it.<br />
