Nick House and Piers Adam Group

Whisky Mist is the members club situated on Park Lane and encapsulates the spirit of Scotland. To understand the Whisky Mist concept one must first understand the origins of the name. Queen Victoria's connection with Deeside, Scotland began in 1848 when she spent a holiday at the Balmoral Estate. By 1854 she and her husband, Prince Albert, had boug... ht the estate and replaced the old castle with a grander building, which today is known as Balmoral Castle. On numerous occasions, whilst she enjoyed a dram of whisky in her drawing room, Queen Victoria witnessed a large majestic stag standing in the glen surrounding Balmoral. Since the heather-covered glen was often covered by a dense fog she christened this noble beast "Whisky Mist". Queen Victoria came to rely heavily on Crathie-born servant John Brown to help her stalk "Whisky Mist" and in 1857, after several summers of tracking the stag, they finally culled "Whisky Mist" in a single humane moment. They feasted on the venison at one of the finest banquets Scotland has ever seen. "Whisky Mist" was then sent to the Royal taxidermist to be preserved for all of history. Allegedly it is "Whisky Mist" which now stands on display in the exclusive Whisky Mist in Park Lane, London today.Read More
