Masterclasses

12.45pm-2pm Whisky, what’s it all about? Eddie Ludlow £5
An introductory tasting session looking at the basics of whisky production and a guide to the flavours to be found today. Great way to get the festival started for those who have never visited a whisky festival before

1.30pm-3pm Auchentoshen Zoran Peric £7.50
Once, along with Campbeltown, the hot-bed of whisky production, the Lowlands are now limited to only a handful of distilleries. Of these only Auchentoshen still employs the Lowland tradition of triple-distillation making it unique in the industry. Come and find out and taste more at this fascinating class…

1.30pm-3pm Talisker & Caol Ila Colin Dunn £7.50
Colin Dunn is back! And this time it’s personal! Join one of the industry’s favourite sons as he returns to Newcastle with a tasting of three different expressions of these iconic (and volcanic!) island distilleries. Expect both your taste-buds and funny-bones to be tickled as you are treated to some great whisky and some great stories…

3.30pm-5pm Best of The Fest! Eddie Ludlow & Special Guests! £15
Eddie, founder of The Whisky Lounge, presents a unique tasting of six very special whiskies presented by six very special people. Expect to be weeping with gladness by the end! A must for the connoisseur.
