The Whisky Weekender 1st - 3rd November 2024
A very special weekend event has been arranged for you all, deep in the Scottish Highlands. Following on from our succesful partnership bottling of Glen Garioch 1988, the Thompson Brothers are hosting us at the Dornoch Castle Hotel, their legendary whisky venue. This is a proper whisky residential, not your usual 4 hour whisky show!! Expect special drams and surprises. Now read on for all the details...

The Feast & BYOB - At 6 pm we welcome you to the Dornoch Castle Whisky Bar to begin the evening with a social meet-and-greet and BYOB. A family-style feast will be served in the hotel restaurant at 7 pm. BYOB will continue during the meal and into the evening...

The Secret Tasting - We invite you to gather at the Castle Whisky Bar at 7.45 pm for the main event, this tasting has been curated by Phil & Simon Thompson & Frederick Maitland (ECW). They will present eight whiskies in pairs. Each pair will have one whisky selected individually by the Thompsons and Fred! The whiskies will be presented blind and the Thompsons and Fred will not be aware of each other's selection until the 2nd of November, although an adjudicator will ensure we do not select the same bottles! This promises to be a unique tasting event and an entertaining evening! The evening will continue after the tasting in the Castle Whisky Bar!
