Flights at Whisky Galore

The cold blast that's come through the country has inspired us to hold a tasting later this month that will focus on big, hearty and warming drams. We've chosen an eclectic lineup, including a spectacular 31 year old mystery single malt, and a high-octane peated expression from Adelphi.

We hope you'll join us for an evening of winter warmers and great company.

With the earliest written record of The Glenturret dating back to 1763, there is a lot to discover about Scotland's oldest distillery. This tasting in March will be a deep-dive into the whisky, the place and its stories, and we hope you will join us to discover more about this small and ancient distillery.

This year one of our favourite tastings is back, our Fine & Fortified event: a journey through 5 whiskies that have been aged or finished in a fortified wine cask, alongside an example of each of the fortified wines.

This will be a fortifying evening, where we will discuss the magic of maturation and learn about the contribution that the cask's previous occupant makes on the whisky as it ages. We will also look to see how much flavour and character comes from the spirit, the wood and how much if any, actually comes from the wine itself.

The Speyside Whisky Festival takes place from the end April and the beginning of May, with whisky lovers from around the world descending on an area that is home to some of the most iconic distilleries in Scotland.

As much as we'd like to take you all there to take part in the festivities, it is 18,000 KM's (give or take) to Speyside from Christchurch, so instead we're cracking open some celebratory whiskies and raising our glasses to this very special place. We do hope you'll join us.

Our April Whisky Talk focuses some of the fascinating historical aspects of Scotch Whisky's rich history, with a focus on some of the distilleries and people who have shaped its past, and influence its future.

This smaller format tasting includes 5 different whiskies and kicks off at 6:00pm - we do hope you'll. join us for an evening of fine drams and plenty of chat.

Please note, supper is not provided with this event.

We're launching a new series of tastings this year that we're calling Whisky Talk. February's talk will be focusing on the different types of cask types used mature whisky, covering terms like "first-fill", "second-fill", "finish" how these various choices of casks impact the whisky during its maturation.

This smaller format tasting includes 5 different whiskies and kicks off at 6:00pm - we do hope you'll. join us for an evening of fine drams and plenty of chat.
