Scotch whisky enthusiasts look no further! Situated above Old Compton Street stalwart The Vintage House, the Soho Whisky Club(opened Dec 2011) boasts a whisky list of over 300 bottles, including a full range of Glenfarclas Family Casks! The light, airy clubroom(with what can only be described as a whisky feature wall) seats about 15 people, and makes a great little bolthole to escape the craziness of Soho and relax with a couple of choice malts. As a non-smoker I wasn’t particularly turned on by the humidor, but cigar enthusiasts might also note that the club offers a decent range of cigars, and has a roomy and heated cigar terrace out the back to smoke them. It is a private members’ club, so you’ll need to join up before you’re allowed to buy drinks there however once you’ve become a member you get access to the exceptionally priced selection(starting at £3.95 a dram a far cry from some of the more prominent whisky establishments), as well as monthly members’ tastings. You can sign in up to 3 guests, and if whisky isn’t to their taste you can also bring up bottles of wine or champagne from the shop downstairs(subject to a modest corkage fee). The esoteric world of single malts can be fairly daunting to a newcomer, however this would be a perfect place to dip your toe in and get started.
