PIN Cadenhead`s Whisky Shop & Tasting Room

Highly original whisky tasting venue

This vintage store offers single malts, blends and glasses, plus a tasting venue with sessions for up to 12 people.The shop and tasting rooms are situated a fantastic area with lots of fabulous independent retailers specialising in fashion, art, jewellery and whisky.







The original shop opened on May 5th 1995 at No3 Russell Street Covent Garden with the name Covent Garden Whisky Shop. The store was one square room with old wooden crates and casks along with the famous Black Board listing the range of single cask malts in regional colours.







The store became a huge hit with tour guides, bringing people along to see the Springbank 1919 bottle that cost £4,500 at the time, a price unheard of for a bottle of whisky, as bottles sold so the remaining stocks went up in price reaching over £50,000 by the time they moved from the original site to the new shop at 26 Chiltern Street.







The move to Chiltern Street was completed by September 2008. The new shop had a lot more space than Covent Garden, so they decided to install a full time tasting room on the lower ground floor along with a small tasting lounge on the first floor.







When people look through they initially see the main Scottish room, but after a few moments they realise the shop goes further back to reveal just how much whisky they have in this unique little shop. Once visitors venture into the back sales room they will find international ranges and Cadenhead’s Rums.







Another range that has people buzzing is world whiskies, such as those from Japan, India and France. They usually have something from each area but only if it is different enough to make the grade.
