What is it?
Known as London's Original Whisky Specialist, Milroy's of Soho offers a curated selection of rare whisky, wines and other spirits by the glass, bottle and case. There's a copper-top bar that seats 12 inside the shop for visitors to sit and taste at, then down in the basement – which you can access via a secret door behind a bookcase – you'll find The Vault, a speakeasy styled cocktail bar.
What does it sell?
Of course there are other drinks, too. But, the range of whisky here is enormous, with around 300 from Scotland alone. There’s a large selection from £24.95, including some of Milroy’s own bottlings, but old and rare whiskies can cost up to £20,000. What’s more, staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the shop runs regular tasting events for those looking to improve their knowledge and appreciation of whisky.
Opening times:
Mon-Sat 10am-12pm; Sun closed.
Time Out tip:
You can also buy some mini whisky samples from the Milroy's website.
