Led by the knowledgeable bar team, masterclasses are a fantastic way to experience some incredible spirits expertly matched in surprising ways.  Available for groups of 2-6, our individual masterclasses offer a personalised interaction throughout the experience and the chance to taste and learn at your own level.  Larger groups available on request.

Available Monday-Thursday from 12-9pm.  
Reservations required.

• Vermouth Masterclass :

  Despite losing popularity to its long-time partner gin, vermouth is back and better than ever. This tasting will take you through four of the best new artisanal vermouth producers paired with the finest seasonal charcuterie all while covering everything from production to cocktails. Priced at £45 per person.

• Essential Whisky Tasting :

  This tasting features a rotating selection of one Lowland, one Speyside and one Islay single malt. Our team will talk through a brief overview of whisky and the art of whisky tasting while serving and pairing each with a selection of our favourite cheeses. Priced at £45 per person.

• Prestige Whisky Tasting :

  A tasting is for the true connoisseur that features fine single malt whiskies all over 18 years of age. Selection will rotate based on availability but will generally include one Highland, one Speyside and one Island whisky. Our team will take this tasting further in depth, exploring the unique differences in region and aging while pairing all three whiskies with ‘best of the season’ artisanal cheeses. Priced at £95 per person.

The Gin Experience

In partnership with  Whitley Neill Gin, an award-winning, hand crafted premium London Dry gin and inspired by the continuous demand for flavoured gins we have selected  our favourite list of gins to be paired  with a bespoke range of  Fever tree tonic.

• Rhubarb and Ginger :

  The essence of rhubarb adds a tart crisp edge to a smooth English gin base whilst the ginger extract warms the palate for a full-bodied finish.
  Served with Fever Tree Tonic 

• Blood Orange :

  Bright, zesty aromas head up a clean, citrus Gin. A sweet fruit burst of Sicilian Blood Oranges offers a smooth crisp taste of the Mediterranean sun.
  Served with Fever Tree Tonic 

• Aloe and Cucumber :

  A luxurious handcrafted African infusion of fresh, green and earthy cucumber with succulent Karoo aloe enhancing the overall complexity
  Served with Fever Tree Tonic 
   

The Vermouth Experience

The unsung hero of the Martini, vermouth is created by infusing wine with a blend of botanicals prior to fortification. Each house recipe is a closely guarded secret with many dating back to the 1800s. To explore the unique flavours that vermouth can offer, we recommend trying one simply over ice, topped with soda or in one of our fabulous cocktails.
