• Celebrate Nikka whisky's 90th anniversary with 90 Days of Nikka in London

  

  To celebrate their 90th anniversary, Nikka whisky are holding a series of events and experiences in London. Here's our guide to 90 Days of Nikka.

• Harvey Nichols launches new whisky bar Benjamin’s

  

  If you’ve ever had the sudden urge for a wee dram while clothes shopping (that can’t be just us, surely?), then Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge is about to make your day. Benjamin’s, a luxurious whisky bar has opened on the Lower Ground Floor in the Menswear department, no less (taking over the space that used to be the Wallpaper bar). 

  While Harvey Nichols’ The Fifth Floor has been

• London’s oldest whisky specialist Milroy's to open second site

• Black Rock expands with a whisky hotel, pub and a blend-your-own room

  

  You might remember that a couple of years ago, we tried out a one-room hotel in London - above the Black Rock Whisky bar. Well, that's going through a bit of a change - planning to become what they're calling "London's first Whisky hotel".

• Knightsbridge's Hyde Bar launches a luxe burger and whisky menu

  

  Not to be outdone by London's, how shall we put it, more casual burger establishments, The Hyde Bar at The Park Tower Knightsbridge has joined the fray with a new range of luxe burgers.

  So if you're after something totally OTT - how about The Luxury Collection - featuring Wagyu beef with Vermont white cheddar in a gold leaf bun, or perhaps The Perigourdine with Angus beef, duck foie gras, Armagnac mayo and potato black truffle bun? They're not cheap mind, ranging

• Steak, lobster and whisky on the menu at Hush's Blades

  

  We rather like the sound of Blades - a new dining space at Hush in Mayfair. Housed in their Silver Room, think of it as a private member space that you don't have to be a member to get into.

  Blades’ menu revolves around steak, lobster and craft whiskies. On the menu you'll find Cornish lobster served grilled, tempura or Thermidor. You can also pair a half lobster with Rib-Eye, Fillet or Sirloin. The steaks come with Blades’ own Bloody Mary Ketchup, or an array of
