Black Rock

Made by Alessandro Basile at Black Rock in the City of London. A complex, Old Fashioned-style cocktail with an autumn twist, featuring notes of cherry and maple syrup, with a dry finish.

For those who prefer a refined whisky, Black Rock is the place for you. Boasting a collections of over 350 whiskies, and stocked with dozens of interesting and rare bottles, sip the night away to a menu of specialty smoked cocktails. There’s also a Blending Bar on-site, where you can take part in an extensive tasting of various styles of whisky, and select the ingredients to blend your own unique bottle of Scotch Whisky.

There’s a reason Black Rock has held the title of the best specialist bar in the UK for four years in a row; it knows a thing or two about whisky. Enjoy countless whiskies by the dram or indulge in cocktails made with the spirit, or if that doesn’t quite cut the mustard, book onto the blending experience where you can blend your own bottle of whisky to take back home with you.

You know what all other bars are missing? A massive hunk of oak tree sawn in half, laid flat and used as a vessel for two whisky rivers. And there are plenty more clever things happening with the brown stuff in this dark, brooding basement. Whisky never looked so good.
