🥃 WOW!! Whisky of the Week 🥃

We've reached the final WOW of our current whisky journey - and we thought we'd finish with something rather unforgettable...

This week, the spotlight falls on Laphroaig 10 Year Old - a whisky that has never been afraid to make an impression!

Made on the island of Islay, off Scotland's west coast, Laphroaig is one of the most distinctive and recognisable names in Scotch whisky. Its character is shaped by the island itself: Atlantic air, seaweed, peat and generations of tradition combining to create a whisky that is unmistakably its own.

Laphroaig 10 is bold, smoky and intensely peaty, with notes of seaweed and salt alongside that famous medicinal character. Beneath all that smoke, there is also a surprising sweetness, with hints of vanilla and a long, warming finish.

This probably isn't the whisky to offer someone who says, "I don't really like whisky", but for lovers of big, smoky drams, this is where things get serious! 😄🔥

And what better way to finish this chapter of our Whisky of the Week journey?

Over the past few months we've explored whiskies from across Scotland and beyond, discovering new distilleries, different cask finishes, familiar favourites and a few bottles that might otherwise have sat quietly on the shelf without getting the attention they deserved.

WOW is taking a little break after this week - but the whisky shelf certainly isn't going anywhere. We may well return in the winter with fresh bottles, fresh stories and plenty more to discover.

But for now, we're finishing with a proper smoky finale...

🥃 Laphroaig 10 Year Old - this week's WOW!!

Our Whisky of the Week isn't about special offers – it's about discovery.

🥃 WOW!! Whisky of the Week 🥃

Not every Whisky of the Week has to be a new discovery. Sometimes it's about taking a fresh look at an old favourite...

This week, the spotlight falls on a familiar face on our single malt shelf: Glenmorangie The Original, 12 Year Old.

Made in the Highland town of Tain, Glenmorangie has become one of the best-known names in Scotch whisky - and there's a very good reason for that. Its elegant, fruity style has made it a favourite with whisky drinkers for generations and a wonderful introduction for anyone beginning their own whisky journey.

Glenmorangie's famously tall copper stills help create its light and delicate spirit, which is then matured for 12 years in bourbon casks, allowing its smooth and creamy character to develop.

Expect a lovely burst of citrus and ripe peach, softened by creamy vanilla and honey, before floral fruitiness gives way to a lingering finish with hints of almond, coconut and maple sweetness. Smooth, elegant and wonderfully approachable, this is a whisky that proves that being a familiar favourite doesn't make it any less worthy of a closer look.

Our Whisky of the Week isn't about special offers – it's about discovery.

And sometimes, discovery means looking again at a bottle that's been there all along.

🥃 Glenmorangie 12 Year Old – this week's WOW!!

🍺 NOW POURING… GOSPORT ROYAL! 👑

We have something very special on the real ale pumps today…

Fresh from Newtown Brewery in Gosport - just 5 miles from our cellar - we are delighted to welcome the long-awaited GOSPORT ROYAL to the Golden Bowler!

Brewed by Clive at his nano-brewery in Victoria Street, in the historic Newtown area of Gosport, this award-winning beer comes from a part of town with a long and proud brewing history.

And it’s not just any award-winner - Gosport Royal recently won Beer of the Festival at the 2026 Wi******er Beer & Cider Festival! 🏆

Newtown Brewery is officially Gosport’s oldest and smallest brewery, and we’re rather chuffed to have one of their beers pouring here on our hand pumps. Small brewery… big reputation! 🍻

If Clive’s previous brews are anything to go by, don’t hang about… this one won’t be here for long!

👑 GOSPORT ROYAL — NOW POURING AT THE GOLDEN BOWLER 👑

Come and give a proper local brew the welcome it deserves! 🍺

Open today from 2:45pm to 11pm - Cheers 🍻

Well, our quiz nights just keep getting better! 🍻🧠

Last night we welcomed an amazing 22 teams for another cracking night of questions, head-scratching and friendly competition.

With some new faces joining us, the introduction of Ditloids, and – rather refreshingly – no tie-breaks needed, it was a closely fought contest from start to finish!

🥇 First Place: Hit for a Six
🥈 Second Place: The Amoebas
🥉 Third Place: Quiz Quad

Congratulations to all our winning teams – and thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant night. The competition may be getting fiercer, but thankfully the laughs are still flowing too!

We're also delighted to add £43.50 to the pot for Dementia Friendly Hampshire 💙 - our chosen charity – thank you to everyone who helps us raise such valuable funds while having a good night out.

Whose Round Is It? is taking a little break, so our next quiz night will be Wednesday 23rd September. Plenty of time to brush up on your general knowledge... and perhaps your Ditloids too! 😉

Thanks again to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant night. 🍻
