After googling, it looks like The Whisky Exchange carries it. Are there any other/better shops where I can find LH 151 at in central London?

Hi Jeje

I ordered mine from ma-wine.com (a German website), Drinkology also stock it.

Whisky Exchange are way more expensive!

Cheers, Adam

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately ordering online is no option because I am just visiting London for a couple of days. I thought there must be a place in London like Rum Depot in Berlin where you can find virtually everything!

Ah, if you are looking for off licences to try, try these:

  • Gerrys (on Old Compton Street in Soho)
  • Vintage House (on the same street as Gerrys)
  • Amathus (round the corner from Gerrys)
  • Vinopolis (the Whisky Exchange shop near London Bridge)

I've never actually been in Vinopolis but I have asked friends to call in there to pick me something up (it carries a good stock) - the other 3 are close enough to walk between them in 5 mins.

Gerrys is my favourite, you can pick up harder to find cocktail supplies (bitters, odd liqueurs) alongside a wide selection of spirits. Vintage House is more straight spirit orientated & has some sipping rums at good prices. Amathus is more expensive but has a few rum minis.

Mahiki, Trader Vics at the Hilton & the Moai at the British Museum (they do a little book on its history which is great) are walking distance from Soho.

I'd hit the British Museum in the morning & pick up that book, scour the off licences in Soho in the afternoon & then get a taxi to Trader Vics for the evening - it's unlikely you'll find LH151 but I hope you enjoy your time in London!
