Silmaril - the jewel of our cocktail list and, for good reason, our best seller.

A bright blend of gin, kiwi, elderflower liqueur, ginger liqueur, honey, and fresh lemon, this cocktail strikes the perfect balance between sweet and sour. Fruity, refreshing, incredibly smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Treat yourself 🫶🏻

French whisky deserves far more attention.
Michel Couvreur Couvreur’s Clearach - a youthful malt matured in old sherry barrels and bottled unfiltered at 43% ABV. Expect aromas of almond, frangipane, dried fruits, warm spice, and a fresh herbal edge.

The Irish have definitely stolen our hearts.
Ask the team for a favourite and chances are they’ll point straight at Redbreast Lustau - rich, smooth and dangerously easy to fall in love with. Absolutely divine Oloroso sherry cask 🖤

But don’t stop there. Our shelves are stacked with whisky from all over the world, and our wonderfully international collection has plenty of gems waiting to be discovered. Sláinte 🥃

Cold nights, good books, and something strong in your glass.
Winter feels a little softer from the corner of a dimly lit bar 🖤📚🥃

We’ve managed to get our hands on something seriously special - the legendary Octomore 01.1 🖤

This is the first ever release - the one that started it all.

Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2008, this 5-year-old Islay bad boy comes in at a staggering 131 PPM, making it the most heavily peated whisky in the world at the time of release.

Only around 6,000 bottles were ever produced - and finding one now is… not easy. We spent months hunting this bottle down.

Matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at a bold 63.5% ABV, it’s raw, powerful, and unapologetically smoky, but layered with unexpected sweetness: honey, fruit, vanilla, and that signature Octomore intensity.

This is the dram that built Octomore’s cult status.

If you know, you know.
And if you don’t - this is your chance.

🥃 Available now at Bibliotheca - until it disappears (again)
