Your Glass Needs Whisky”, with Simon & Franchi from Simply Whisky
Monday 18-April, 7:00pm

Some of you may have previously seen this delightful Scottish duo serenading Scotch fans at various events across the capital. If not, I can assure you that they put on a show not to be missed… In the last few years Simply Whisky’s Simon & Franchi have ignited a passion for single malt whisky in over 1,500 people – from Chief Executives of private equity firms and the BBC through to buzz band MGMT (Management) and a German wedding in St Andrews, Scotland. They personally appeared at Ewan McGregor’s Not Another Burns Night in London spouting Burns poetry, and have captured the attention of Whisky magazine and GQ magazine.

 
We’ve teamed up with the Simply Whisky boys to put on a truly entertaining evening, full of drumming, dramming and drama like never before witnessed in these hallowed arches. In quite a significant departure from our usual format, Simon and Franchi will be focusing more on the pure enjoyment of whisky, its history and lore, all the while extolling the virtues to mind, body and soul that we all know it endows. There will also be a wee bit of cheese and chocolate pairing too – something that will become more of a common fixture at our tastings this year.

We have a truly awe-inspiring line-up for this tasting, having picked 7 very different whiskies, each showing off a particular ‘style’ of whisky at its very best. This all-star line-up is as follows:

Rosebank 1990 / 16yo / 46% / Single Malts of Scotland
Cambus 1965 / 45yo / 45.9% / Clan Denny
Longmorn 1978 / 31yo / 58% / SDL Masterpieces
Macallan 1990 / 43% / The Whisky Trail
George T. Stagg / 70.7% / Bot. 2009
Nikka Yoichi 15yo / 45%
