“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 />
