The Gilded Room
Lounge‑jazz, candle‑lit tables, and an immaculate bar team in uniform. Rare bottles, expert hosts and impeccable service. Founding membership strictly limited to 25.
Cultivated. Considered. Club‑Only.
We curate beautifully flighted tastings across regions and ages, with seasonal pairings. Evenings are hosted by brand ambassadors, independent bottlers or our in‑house curator. Expect bankers comparing notes over Old Fashioneds and collectors debating cask finishes — quietly, comfortably.
Rare & Allocated
From single casks to limited releases — lists you won’t see on a typical back bar.

Guided by industry guests and our curator. Provenance, process and palate — without the pretence.
Flawless Ambience
