We say let bygones be bygones here at TWE. Things have moved on since all that kerfuffle back in the 18th century and to show that there’s no hard feelings we’re going to be putting on a little shindig to celebrate the birth of the United States of America on July 4th. After all, if it wasn’t for the War of Independence we probably wouldn’t have American whiskey…

We’ll be joined by Bruce Perry, Sales Director for Eaux de Vie, who distribute a wide range of American whiskies in the UK – as well as spirits from all over the rest of the world. He’ll be lending us his whiskey knowledge for the evening and introducing us to a range of whiskeys from the USA.

After kicking off with a summery cocktail (no matter what the weather is doing outside) we’ll be sipping our way through almost the entire gamut of American whiskey styles, with Wheat, Corn, Rye, Single Malt and, of course, Bourbon making an appearance. There’ll be drams from Georgia Moon, Bernheim, Wasmund’s, Rittenhouse, Elijah Craig and Noah’s Mill on the mat, as well as the long aged and multi-award-winning Evan Williams 23 year old.

The tasting will take place on Wednesday 4th July at 7:30pm. Tickets are now on sale at £25 each.
As ever, tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis and are limited to two per customer. You can book your place at the tasting by phoning the shop on 020 7403 8688 or by calling by in person.
