"Send out for whisky baby, send out for gin..."…read more The London Distillery Company has certainly mastered the latter - in the form of its superb Dodd's gin - and is now well on its way to tackling the former. Its Battersea nerve centre is a playground of gleaming copper, stainless steel and exotic glassware, presided over by the two-headed Willy Wonker that is Darren Rook and Andrew MacLeod Smith. When I visited, the diminutive whisky still ("Matilda") had just been installed and is - even if you've visited a fair few distilleries - quite unlike anything you've seen before. As well as being considerably smaller (she almost seems to stoop for the low ceiling) Matilda is partially connected to a second column for as-yet unspecified "experimentation". The distillery itself is at one end of a former Victorian dairy warehouse, now converted to an achingly cool commune of craft businesses, including bar, street restaurant, and arts space, where models rub shoulders with boxers and architects. Peer in the through the large picture windows to see Andrew and Darren hard at work on their latest creation, before popping over to the Doodle Bar opposite to sample the fruits of their labour. It's about as far away from the world of traditional Scotch Whisky as it's possible to get, and I love it.

Then the group gathered and we did a tasting (I believe our guides name was Matt, and he was fantastic) the tasting included three samples of different varieties of Beefeater gin and a lesson on the botanicals used in the distillation process. We got to see where all Beefeater Gin is distilled which I thought was really cool. Then the tour finished back in the bar with and amazing G&T. If you are in London I would highly recommend checking this one out! I also want to note I was on a solo trip and went to the experience alone! I felt super safe and comfortable the whole time, there were even other people in my group there by themselves as well!

The menu was quirky but the bartender helped us pick our cocktails and explained each cocktail and its 'story' to us. The controversial 'Electric Kool Aid Acid Test' cocktail was good fun to try - came with a battery and a little bag of white powder, attached to the glass. The idea is to pour the powder into the glass and sink the drink and then lick the battery. You have got to have an open palate to try out a range of cocktails but if you tell them what you like they will recommend you the best drink :)
