Festivals, Blending Workshops & More from The Whisky Lounge! – Whisky News
Spring is in the air and we’re not sure how we’re almost at the end of April already, but it only means one thing – festival season is in full swing!
The Newcastle, London Whisky Weekender and Aberdeen Whisky have all been sell outs! We’ll soon be heading down South again to Bristol and Brighton…
Here is our Southern adventure (including early-bird offers!) as well as lots more to sink your teeth into including a very exciting new tasting series with Elements of Islay!
First things First….
Bristol Whisky Festival: 7th May
Undoubtedly the biggest whisky event in the South West, we are heading back to Brissle on May 7th armed with a whole carnival of distillers and whisky in tow and we’re all set to give you a unforgettable day of all things whisky!
Of course, once again, we have a delightful line-up of masterclasses at the festival…
At 1pm we have Ian Chang, Master Distiller at Kavalan, back again with us to tell you the secrets of the Taiwanese distillery’s huge successes, plus you’ll have the chance to try two of their currently unreleased whiskies! Head here to book your places now.
Also at 1pm we have Penderyn Distillery on hand to answer all your Welsh-Whisky questions – a fantastic chance to find out what really makes Bristol’s closest distillery tick.
And last but not least, world renown and all round whisky legend Charles Maclean will be presenting a tasting from our very latest range of TWL bottlings. Charlie has been writing about whisky for decades (even before it was cool!) and has a unfaltering passion for whisky unlike any other. Click here to book your places – we recommend you’re quick!
Brighton Whisky Festival: 18th June
Tickets are now on sale for our grand return to one of our favourite South coast towns.
In the fantastic setting of the Corn Exchange at Brighton Dome we will be welcoming a great array of whisky producers and bottlers for you to enjoy for one day only!
