Possibly the first place in the UK to serve Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 7 Year Old by the glass. 🥃

With very limited availability in the UK and not yet widely available for retail purchase, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of Kentucky’s most sought-after wheated bourbons without committing to a full bottle.

Bottled at 100 proof (50%) and aged for 7 years. Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond delivers rich notes of caramel, vanilla, honey, toasted oak and baking spice, balanced by the smooth, elegant character that has made the Old Fitzgerald name legendary among bourbon enthusiasts.

Available by the glass for a limited time.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Introducing the latest limited releases from Kilchoman to the bar! Each have its own distinct story, cask influence, and character:

Maury Cask Matured (Limited Edition)
A bold and beautifully rich expression, matured in Maury wine casks from the south of France. Expect deep notes of dark berries, warming spice, and a subtle sweetness layered over Kilchoman’s signature Islay peat smoke. Non-chill filtered and natural in color, this one is all about intensity and depth.

2026 Tour Edition
A special bottling crafted exclusively for visitors, this release showcases a unique cask combination delivering a lighter, brighter profile. Think citrus, vanilla, and gentle smoke — perfectly balanced and incredibly drinkable, while still carrying that unmistakable Kilchoman DNA.

Two limited editions. Two completely different journeys. Which one are you reaching for first?

A rare pour with a story to tell…

Waterford “Argot” Irish Single Malt. A bold and unapologetic expression, showcasing the distilleries signature terroir-driven philosophy. Crafted from a marriage of their finest casks, Argot delivers layers of dark fruit, toasted oak, spice, and a rich, malty depth that lingers long on the palate.

This cuvée is all about intensity and balance with a deeper, more robust side of Waterford, where complexity meets elegance in every sip.

With the distillery now closed and no longer producing liquid, what remains is incredibly limited! only a small amount left in the world.

Now available by the glass… while it lasts.
