Alwynne Gwilt is the founder and editor of whisky website, Miss Whisky (www.misswhisky.com), which she launched in 2011 after escaping the world of financial journalism to write about something she was entirely passionate about.

Although based in the UK, she has recently appeared at whisky festivals as far afield as Canada, where she hosted a whisky & chocolate tasting for 90 ladies at the opening of the world renowned Victoria Whisky Festival. She was named International Whisky Ambassador of the Year from the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival in 2013, and will be hosting an event at the 2014 festival in May. She currently runs tastings around the UK on a private basis and for companies such as The Balvenie. 

In this tasting, she will get you to stretch your palates and sample a range of whiskies matched up with chocolates, exploring how these two stunning products can work wonderfully together. You will learn about the history of whisky, hear stories from behind the scenes at distilleries and discover more about the chocolate world, which has numerous things in common with whisky.
