House of Hazelwood & Hedonism Wines Launch A 52-Year-Old...
House of Hazelwood and the purveyors of fine spirits, Hedonism Wines, have come together to create whisky’s answer to the definition of Hedonism: The Pursuit of Pleasure, a 52-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky. In a literal ‘pursuit of pleasure’, the Hedonism team travelled to House of Hazelwood’s Speyside home in search of the perfect blend. Drawing on whisky from deep within the Gordon family’s private collection, a panel of Hedonism’s finest experts spent days with House of Hazelwood whisky makers sampling hundreds of parcels of whisky to find the components to create the ultimate blend. The result is The Pursuit of Pleasure, a 52-year-old Blended Scotch Whisky matured in a combination of American White Oak and European Sherry Casks.

In Conversation With The Duo Behind Chiave, Shoreditch
When Selin Duren and Cem Ozden decided to open a bar, they wanted to create their ideal hangout spot. Having both been regulars on the London music/ European nightlife scene for some time, they certainly had the inside track. The end result of their joint effort is Chiave, a hedonistic destination of drinks, music and art. Spread across two floors, a moodily-lit bar area can be found on ground-level. Sit at the table by the window for an unbeatable view of the street outside, watching the best of Redchurch's bustling neighbourhood pass by. Downstairs houses a basement DJ and dance space with a bespoke sound system flown in from Copenhagen. Genres range from house and minimal techno to electro funk and hip hop, alternating secret ticketed gigs with open houses where everyone is welcome. The drinks menu is wonderfully unique, with original twists on cult classics and entirely new concoctions, too. Standouts include the Capybara, made with Tanqueray no.10, palo santo, rose sakura and Jasmine Verte. The Limbo is perfectly punchy, while the Street Spirit offers a sweeter touch. And, despite the caffeine content, the alla turca jazz espresso martini makes for a surprisingly good nightcap. A curated selection of wine and quintessential bar bites can also be enjoyed. Below, our full conversation with Selin and Cem.
British Bubbles
Champagne houses are increasingly turning to the chalky soils of Kent and Sussex to grow the grapes for their famous fizz, so it’s no surprise that England’s own winemaking industry is flourishing, establishing itself as a key player in the global wine landscape. Eager to expand my palate, I found myself on a sunny April day on the train from London to West Sussex’s sprawling Wiston Estate, one such winery establishing England as a key player in the global wine landscape.
