With all of this talk about London, its important to remember we have, as always, plenty going on in the North!

With this in mind, tickets have been on sale and moving well for sometime for the 2nd Leeds Whisky Festival on Saturday 1st June. However there are still tickets available at £30 for a full day or £20 for a half day.

The usual Whisky Lounge fripperies are there, including free tasting glass, beginners workshops and Under The Counter Drams, all in the funky 02 Academy Leeds. Click here for more. Nuff said.

We always like to try and take whisky to parts of the country yet to be versed in the ‘Whisky Love’.

Bristol has been high up on the list for a while and we are very excited that we have finally set a date and venue for our first festival in the west country.

To celebrate we are offering an ultra-special early bird, with a 2 for £30 ticket deal for the first 100 lucky punters… To take advantage of this click here to get straight to the right page.

There are still tickets left for our current series of tastings in Brighton, Leeds and York. A tremendous line-up of single cask drams from the SMWS which have already set the rest of the country alight! Click here for more…

We’re all off on a peaty holiday… And there are still a few places remaining if you would like to join us on this ‘Backstage Tour of Islay’. We have special distillery visits, dinners with distillery personnel and a lot more going on… Click here for more.

Whisky School is out! We have dates for our special one-day whisky courses available in London and Newcastle. More to be announced very soon in time for Father’s Day! In the meantime, have a look here for more detail…

Don’t forget it is Father’s Day in just over a months time (June 16th) and needless to say, most of our offerings would make tremendous gifts for the old man… We can email you personalised PDF tickets for any and all of these events that you can then pop in a card for a superb gift. Simples!

That’s pretty much it from us for now but I think that is enough to be going on with! Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter – @thewhiskylounge – and like and share our Facebook page to keep bang up to date with the latest news about our events and more. There are photos and more of previous festivals on the FB page too…

We look forward to seeing you over a dram or two soon.

Sláinte!
