Whisky, bourbon and tequila at Fiena's bar near King's Cross

We pour two Japanese whiskies, both from Suntory:

• Suntory Yamazaki comes from the Yamazaki distillery in Osaka Prefecture, which opened in 1923 as Japan's first commercial whisky distillery.
• Suntory Hibiki is a blended whisky. The name means "resonance" or "echo", and it was introduced in 1989.

Background from Wikipedia's pages on the Yamazaki distillery and Hibiki.

The whiskey list runs from easy-drinking favourites to single malts for sipping: Jameson, Jack Daniel's, Monkey Shoulder, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Glenmorangie Lasanta 12, Balvenie 12 and Dalmore 15. Lasanta is one of Glenmorangie's wood-finish whiskies, named in the range alongside Quinta Ruban and Nectar d'Or.

Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Bulleit Rye. Buffalo Trace comes from a distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, that claims to be the oldest continuously operating distillery in the United States.

A bigger agave list than you might expect: Patron Silver and Reposado, Casamigos Blanco, Reposado and Añejo, Don Julio Reposado, and Casamigos Mezcal. Tequila is a type of mezcal made only from blue agave, while mezcal can be made from many kinds of agave and usually has a smoky flavour. On a tequila list, blanco means unaged (or rested for under two months), reposado has spent at least two months in oak, and añejo at least a year.

If you'd rather have your bourbon mixed, two classics on our drinks menu use Buffalo Trace:

• Old fashioned: Buffalo Trace bourbon, Angostura bitters and gomme syrup. It's one of the earliest cocktails: the recipe dates to the early 1800s, and the name to the 1880s.
• Whiskey sour: Buffalo Trace, fresh lemon and gomme syrup, with a vegan foam.

Tequila fans can go for a Margarita on Tequila Ocho, classic or spicy. Every cocktail is made with a 50ml spirit measure. See our post on cocktails at Fiena for the full list.

• Gin: Beefeater, Beefeater Pink, Hendricks, Monkey 47, Gin Mare and Dara Gin.
• Rum: Bacardi, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, Havana Club 7 Year Old, Eminente and Ron Santiago.
• Vodka: Ketel One, Grey Goose, Belvedere, Stolichnaya and Beluga Noble.
• Brandy: Hennessy, Courvoisier VS and XO, Metaxa and Remy Martin.

Spirits are served in 25ml measures.
