Yehmon! Not Your Typical Rum

 Since 1968 Silvano Samaroi has used his fine honed palate to hand select and bottle some of the world's finest whiskies. For some time, he was the only non-British or non-Scottish person doing this type of work and doing it very well. Then came a trip to the Caribbean, when and where he fell in love with Rum. All of Samaroli's rums are hand picked barrels from small distilleries all along the Equator from Cuba to Fiji; they are then shipped back to his facility in Scotland for bottling and aging- preferring the aging seasons in Scotland to produce a finer quality rum.


His passion is our gain, and it is quite an honor to have on hand Rums that are so select that we most likely won't find their equals again!

Hot Summer Nights...

We're Ramping Things Up....

You may have noticed a few changes here and there at Whiskey and the Club Room. Not only have we keep true to offering a Tasting Series event in the Club Room every month, starting the long awaited Cigar Club (last Wed of every month 8p in the Club Room), you will see in the coming months an updated website (visible on mobile devices), as well as a revival of Whiskey's blog- The Snifter and the Shaker.

As always, we appreciate your continued patronage and enthusiasm for the brown spirits and traditional cocktails as we do!
