Admiralty, Trafalgar Square Paul McLachlan, created a special haggis using a rare and expensive 50-year-old Balvenie malt whisky. In 2014 the building was acquired by Fuller's Brewery. It re-opened as the Admiralty pub on 23 October of that year, two days after Trafalgar Day. The opening was performed by Admiral Lord West of Spithead, who had been First Sea Lord from 2002 to 2006, and by the brewery's chief executive Simon Emeny. During the opening a magnum of London Pride beer was ceremonially smashed on the pub's exterior. The pub's interior decor is inspired by , Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar.
