Tristan and Tom’s East London wh**ky bar. Open Mon - Sat. Closed Bank Holidays. Home to our Whis
(297)

05/11/2026

We may have accidentally on purpose collected quite a lot of wh**ky.

Around 480 bottles at the last count, from all over the world, in just about every flavour direction you can think of.

Smoky. Sweet. Fruity. Spicy. Weird. Wonderful. Familiar. Completely unfamiliar.

Some are there because they’re classics.
Some because they’re rare.

Some because somebody opened one and said, “you need to try this.”

The important bit is that they’re there to be drunk.

Tell us what you like and we’ll find you something good. 🥃

Norway’s Arctic coast is a long way from Shoreditch. Last night, we brought the two a little closer together.

A brilliant evening exploring the wonderfully unconventional whiskies of Myken Distillery. Big flavours, a few surprises, and plenty to talk about across the table.

Huge thanks to the Myken team for taking us on the journey, and to everyone who came along, asked questions and raised a glass.

Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday.

Same time next week. Different wh**ky. 🥃

Tomorrow night, we’re going about as far north as wh**ky gets.

Myken sits 32km out in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of northern Norway, on an island with just 13 year-round residents. The wh**ky is made, matured and bottled there, using desalinated seawater and small copper stills.

Which is already enough of a reason for us to want to taste it.

We’ll be exploring Myken Arctic Island Wh**ky, including Ocean Heart, and getting into what happens when you make wh**ky somewhere this remote, this cold and this close to the sea.

Wh**ky doesn’t have to come with rules.

Have it neat. Add water. Put it over ice. Make it long. Make it short. Drink it as a highball, a cocktail, a flight, a dram from the table, or take a bottle home for later.

At Black Rock, we organise wh**ky by flavour rather than by country or category, because what matters most is what you actually like drinking.

Smoky. Sweet. Fruity. Spicy. Fragrant. Fruit

There’s usually something here for whatever mood you’re in.

And if you don’t know where to start, that’s half the fun.

We took little trip to India on Tuesday night.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for Prakaan, and to the team for bringing the wh**ky, the rum and a lot of enthusiasm to the table.

We tasted our way through the Prakaan range, got slightly distracted by some Phra Ya rum, and generally had a cracking time.

Next Tuesday we’re off somewhere completely different again.

Kurayoshi. Japan. 6–8pm.

New in at Black Rock: Onikishi Tenbatsu 12 Year Old 🇯🇵🥃

A really lovely Japanese blended wh**ky that’s well worth seeking out if you fancy trying something a little different.

On the nose there’s light toffee, vanilla and gently spiced fruit, followed by toasted grain, honey, soft smoke and orange on the palate. The finish brings caramel, cedar and citrus together nicely.

It’s balanced, elegant and very easy to drink, exactly the sort of bottle we like having behind the bar.

If you’re in this week, ask us for a dram.

Next up: Prakaan Single Malt Wh**ky 🇹🇭🥃

Join us on Tuesday 20th October, 18:00–20:00 as we taste through the Prakaan range and explore what makes this Thai single malt so distinctive.

We’ll be looking at the distillery, the influence of Thailand’s climate and the different styles across the range.

As always, places are limited.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Tuesday’s Octomore tasting.

A full table, three very different 17 Series releases, plenty of smoke, and exactly the sort of evening these tastings are all about.

Thanks as well to Bruichladdich for helping us put it together.

Next week, we’re heading somewhere completely different.

Prakaan joins us on Tuesday 20 October for a tasting of Indian single malt wh**ky, a very different climate, a very different style, and something well worth exploring.

Drams you might not have tried.

Local Heros – Sweet Peat

Not every peated wh**ky needs to punch you in the face.

Sweet Peat is a blended malt from The Distillery at Coleburn, built as a softer introduction to smoke.

Think caramel, vanilla and toffee, then honey, pear drops, ripe banana and a gentler layer of peat running through it.

Bottled at 46%, it’s a pretty good option if you like the idea of smoky wh**ky but don’t necessarily want to start with something that tastes like a bonfire on Islay.

On the bar now.

Next Tuesday gets ridiculous.

We’re pouring the full Octomore 17 series:

17.1
17.2
17.3

Three heavily peated Islay single malts, three very different approaches, and absolutely no attempt to keep things subtle.

Octomore has a bit of a reputation for pushing peat to fairly unreasonable places, which is exactly why this should be such a fun tasting.
