The Tweeddale | Whisky Tasting Evening | Coldstream

The Tweeddale whisky was established in Coldstream on Duke Street in 1820. On Saturday 4th August, as a festive precursor to the annual celebrations of Civic Week The Tweeddale will be returning to its spiritual home in Coldstream for a  tasting evening and talk from The Tweeddale Master Blender, Alasdair Day.

Alasdair Day, is the great grandson of Richard Day who ran a small licensed grocer’s shop in Coldstream where he blended and bottled whisky to sell to the local community. He meticulously recorded his secret ‘recipes’ in a cellar book which he left to his family. This fateful book was passed down through the family to Alasdair and in 2009 he was inspired to recreate The Tweeddale using Richard Day’s original recipes.

At this fascinating event, taking place in Coldstream Community Centre, Alasdair will be talking about how the business has evolved in recent years and will be providing tastings of the three different expressions of The Tweeddale that he has created to date. The evening will be the perfect opportunity for whisky and Coldstream History lovers to uncover the fascinating heritage of this spirit, while sipping a dram or two.

This is a free event and will run from 7pm – 9pm. There will also be whisky available to purchase.
