As the autumn breeze kicks in, what better way to warm yourself up than joining us in the Atrium Bar for a whisky tasting?
On Friday 24 October whisky connoisseur Martyn Miller will be taking you through four of the finest whiskies from Scotland. We’re also excited to be partnering up with Auld Hag's The Shoap for the event. This Scottish deli on the top of St John’s Street boasts a wonderful selection of Scottish produce, making the tastiest slices and pies in central London, and can be found a couple of minutes away from Angel Station. They will be providing traditional oat cakes to enjoy during the tasting, and setting up a pop-up shop for you to buy Scottish scran to take home.
Event timings:
19:00 Whisky tasting
20:45 Time for drinks & pop-up shopping from Auld Hag
21:15 Optional screening of The Angels' Share (not included, please see ticket info below)
Tickets are £27.50 each for members and their +1, and £29.50 for non-members. The ticket price covers just the whisky tasting event. If you'd like to stay for the screening of The Angels' Share which will follow the tasting, please book your combo ticket here instead, to take advantage of the discounted price (£35 for members and their +1, £37 for non-members).

About Auld Hag & The Shoap:
In the midst of lockdown, Gregg Boyd followed up on a life long mission to set up a Scottish food and drink business in London. After running a stall at various food markets and a pop-up in a Walthamstow-based brewery, they have now opened a Scottish cafe, bakery and deli right by Angel station. The Times wrote about The Shoap: '...which serves up Stornoway black pudding, Lorne sausage, tattie scones, smoked fish from Arbroath, Highland venison, Cullen skink, Glasgow rolls, Dundee cake and Aberdeen butteries, has been inundated since it opened its doors last month in Islington.'
