The Whisky Lounge Tasting News For April 2012 – Lots to read! – Scotch Whisky News
Greetings whisky lovers!
Where is this year going? It’s spring already and we’re fast approaching our 3rd festival of the year. As the months are flying by we thought we would fire an email to you all and give you a heads up on our latest ventures and Whisky Lounge related news.
TASTINGS
First up is our latest series of tastings. As usual we’re heading far and wide across the country to deliver some of the very best whiskies to a venue near you. Our new range is here – cask series three – and they’re set to amaze and indoctrinate you all into the vast and incredible world of (mostly) single cask, cask strength whiskies. This line-up will deliver some of the most exciting and best whiskies you’ll taste this year. All of this for only £15 – plus a £5 voucher off a purchase on the night! Just click on the date and venue you are interested in to be taken directly to the page on the website.

Leeds Whisky Festival!
Our first festival in the city of Leeds is on the 2nd of June at the o2 Academy. This is set to be one of the biggest events outside of the capital and will be giving Manchester a run for its money with more whisky related fun and games than ever before. Leeds Whisky Fest is set to be a real celebration of our favourite and much loved spirit. Not one to be missed! Click here to find out more.

Other News
In other news our latest festival in Brighton went down a storm click here to take a look at how The Whisky Lounge’s trip to the sea side went down.
Also the very latest innovation in whisky entertainment is here in our Whisky Mission #3 part 2. Click here to see Joe shouting the good word of whisky to a square full of Londoners at lunchtime near Soho – yes he appears to be quite mad, but very entertaining nonetheless. He’s also been hitting the website with reviews of some interesting releases – click here for Joe’s Whisky Review.
Finally if you’ve not already given us a like on Facebook or checked us out on Twitter then seek us out on @TheWhiskyLounge @TWLEddie @TWLAmanda @TWLJoe. This really is the best way to be kept bang up to date with all our latest events and you’ll also be able to enter our whisky related competitions that we’ll be running in the near future.
So there we have it – I think that’s everything for now hope to see you all for a dram in the near future.
Slainte!
