Hidden away in the historical lanes of Tudor Bath is a true gem. Stonewalled, wood-laden and walls lined with whiskey for every taste. Legend tells us this was originally a hoard for thieves, highwaymen, scoundrels and opportunists alike, a place to laugh and cheer, make new contacts and strike deals. A meeting place for every lawless reprobate for miles around, where stories are told and drinks are shared .

For years this hole in the wall was a haven for the outlaws of their day, unruliness was rife and law enforcement was scared to set a foot anywhere near. Steal from the rich and come and spend the bounty here. It was a perfect Hideout.

After years of being buried, being thought lost forever, this Hideout has emerged once more. Men worked tirelessly to bring this legendary keep to the surface once again. The bar has been returned to all its glory and is open for business, with a slightly more modern Bath twist.

Their whisky-making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and they are the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. And of course, the Malt Master David C. Stewart presides over the all-important maturation process. Making The Balvenie the most hand-crafted of single malts.

Classic Sundays - Portobello Road Gin

The base spirit is distilled here in England from English-grown wheat. The nine botanical ingredients come from around the world; these include juniper berries and orris from Tuscany, Spanish lemon peels, bitter orange peels from Haiti or Morocco, nutmeg from Indonesia and cassia bark from South East Asia.

In the nine months of experimentation that followed the character of the gin was slowly created - a little more of this, a little less of that, this one makes a nice Martini, that one makes a nice Negroni, well you get the picture. Slowly but surely something they could be proud of emerged. Thus Portobello Road No 171 Gin was born.

Our Classic Sunday collaborations return with Monkey Shoulder Scotch. Two classic cocktails for £6 each.

Monkey Shoulder Original is a blend of single malt whiskies, made for mixing. Monkey Shoulder Original was created to make perfect whisky cocktails and has been made for mixing ever since. It's a blend of malt whiskies from the Speyside (Highland) region of Scotland. The whiskies are selected in small batches then married together to consistently achieve Monkey Shoulder’s signature flavour, in every bottle.

Put your nose in the glass and you’ll smell zesty orange, vanilla, honey and spiced oak. Take a sip and you’ll taste mellow vanilla with spicy hints. That smooth, malty and fruity character is bold enough to stand out in a drink and balanced enough not to overpower it.
