Burns Night at the The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar

Enjoy an evening of glamour and opulence at The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar this Burns Night. Their current Interpreted Magic menu delves into the fabled history, dark drama and timeless romance embedded in the mysterious world of magic and boasts a refined signature offering, including a well-chosen, in-depth whisky selection. The bar’s enhanced roster of whiskies focuses on rare, valuable bottles and world whiskies, which are all found in the third section in the menu, entitled ‘The Prestige’. This segment is shaded with black and represents the end of the evening or, in this case, the finale. Expanding its representation of world whiskies, and offering small, rare batches, the whiskies at the Beaufort Bar range in style, age, region and complexity, pleasing both malt connoisseurs and curious neophytes. Lesser-known world whiskies to try in the Beaufort Bar, as recommended by Elon Soddu, Head Bartender of Beaufort Bar.

Kavalan Concertmaster:”Full of flavour and attitude, with a port cask finish affording a rich and decadent lingering smoothness”
Karnog Sauternes Cask: “A peated French single malt finished in sauternes casks with an amazing complexity delivered by competing sweetness and smoke”.
Starward 10th Anniversary: “Australian single malt finished in a variety of Australian wine casks, this one weighs in at 52% abv but you’d never know it, it’s stunningly smooth”

Monkey Shoulder X Skylight Rooftop – Burns Night Celebration 

On Saturday 25th January, Monkey Shoulder whisky will be taking over London’s most imaginative rooftop destination, Skylight at Tobacco Dock for one of London’s biggest Burns Night celebrations. In honour of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns, the rooftop will undergo a boozy makeover by Monkey Shoulder, bringing with them signature whisky tipples a-plenty. Entertainment, aside from the rooftop ice rink, will come from traditional Scottish bag-pipers, a highland dance performance, special poems and surprise tasting opportunities throughout the night. Expect music, singing, dancing and poems.

With a wide array of seating to choose from, guests will be able to cosy up under the heated pergola or grab a table or booth on the lower level. Skylight’s rooftop igloos will also be available to book as well as cosy huts – the perfect place to pull up a blanket and sip on hot-toddies to warm the cockles. Street food will also be available to purchase.

Saturday 25th January

5pm – 11pm

£8 – £16 Including welcome drink

Ice skating is not included in the entry ticket but can be purchased at the venue for £12 for 45 minutes.
