TASTINGS GALORE!

SUMMER AND AUTUMN EVENTS SCHEDULE

We’ve got lots of exciting whisky tasting events coming up over the next few months. From a premium Glenfiddich tasting through to the opportunity to try some very fine and rare whiskies. We always look forward to hosting our events as we make sure that we only open bottles we would like to drink ourselves – which hopefully counts as quality control! Very soon we will have our winter and spring events schedule but we thought it pertinent to remind you of all the great tastings we have in the meantime.

All of our events are hosted at Milroy’s of Soho 3 Greek Street, London, W1D 4NX and begin at 18:30 and conclude at approximately 20:00.

Glenfiddich Premium Ambassador Night 20/07/15

Enter Glenfiddich, the best-selling single malt in the world. We didn’t think it was appropriate to just hash out any old tasting to celebrate this venerable Speysider, so we elected to host our very first Premium Ambassador Night. Due to the calibre of the whisky we are trying, we have been politely asked to not promote the specific whiskies being presented. Needless to say, you will be sampling the cream of the crop under the expert tutelage of the tour-de-force that is Mark Thomson. To cap it all off every attendee will be presented with a complimentary bottle of the Glenfiddich 21 Year Old.

Feis Ile 2015 Masterclass 03/08/2015

We sent an intrepid member of staff up to Islay. His task was to fill our shop and bar shelves with a host of limited edition bottles from the festival and the famous Islay distilleries. Naturally, as we took stock of his impressive haul, we thought it would only be fair to give everyone the chance to try some of these (largely) smoky drams. As such, we have set up our very first Feis Ile masterclass where you can sample six of the festival releases from: Bunnahbhain, Caol Ila, Bowmore, Laphroiag, Kilchoman, and even a very special 24 year old Lagvulin!

Scotland v. The World Masterclass 10/08/15

Back by popular demand. Our Scotland v. The World tasting pitches the best that the Scottish can muster against whiskies from the rest of the world. Each whisk(e)y is presented blind and it will be your task to figure out where each dram originates from. There may even be a prize for the participant with the top score. Don’t worry if you are a newcomer, our staff will be talking you through the different styles produced all over the planet and will give the odd hint too!

Introduction To Whisky Masterclass 24/08/15

Tonight we will be journeying into the world of whisky (and whiskey). From the shores of Scotland to the heartland of Bourbon. Our expert staff will take you from the grain which produces the amber nectar, through to the oak trees that become the casks. Furthermore, you will be regaled with the myths and legends that surround iconic distilleries and be introduced to the science employed to create this the most complex of spirits. This tasting is perfect for newcomers and connoisseurs alike. We only open whisky that we want to drink too, so expect the very best!

Fine & Rare Masterclass 07/09/15

Our Fine & Rare whisky tasting is the jewel in our crown. The purpose of the tasting is to sample a combination of old, rare and unequivocally top quality whisky. The majority of whisky opened at this event is unavailable to purchase and has been sought at great effort by our buying team – the motivation is purely to showcase the finest that whisky can be. This tasting begins with a Champagne/cocktail reception followed by a minimum of six whiskies, and is hosted by our most experienced staff (we don’t have to ask them twice!).

£95

Bootleggers & Bourbon Masterclass 21/09/15

We’ve resurrected our popular American whiskey evening. Since we’ve reopened we’ve been bowled over by the growth in popularity of Bourbon and rye whiskey, and now, more than ever, is a tasting dedicated to Scotch’s transatlantic cousins more appropriate. Our resident American whiskey enthusiast Angus will be taking us through his favourite whiskeys and the honourable and illicit tales that surround them, from the Civil War to Mad Men!
