In-Store Events

In-store events are at the heart of how we bring the world of fine spirits to life, offering customers the opportunity to taste, learn, and connect directly with the stories behind the bottles. Whether it’s an evening of guided whisky tasting, a masterclass with a visiting distiller, or a themed exploration of a spirit category, our events are designed to turn browsing into an immersive, memorable experience.

Unlike simply reading about a spirit, tasting it in person, with expert guidance, offers a depth of understanding that transforms how you enjoy it. Our in-store events are led by knowledgeable hosts, often joined by brand ambassadors or distillers themselves, who share insights into production methods, regional styles, and the heritage that shapes each spirit. This direct connection between producer and drinker allows you to appreciate not just flavour, but also the craftsmanship and passion that go into each bottle.

Whisky-focused evenings are a cornerstone of our event calendar. These might feature vertical tastings from a single distillery, where you experience how age, cask type, and maturation shape a whisky’s profile, or regional explorations, comparing the light florals of a Lowland malt with the smoky power of an Islay dram. Limited edition releases and rare bottlings often make appearances at these sessions, giving attendees the chance to taste whiskies that may never be available again.

We also host events dedicated to other spirit categories. Rum tastings showcase the difference between agricole, column-still, and pot-still production, while gin masterclasses highlight the role of botanicals and distillation techniques. Cognac, tequila, mezcal, and even emerging categories like Japanese gin or world whiskies also take centre stage, reflecting the breadth of our in-store expertise.

Themed evenings are a way to bring extra energy to the experience. Food pairing events, such as whisky with artisan cheese, chocolate, or charcuterie, explore how flavours interact and complement each other. Seasonal events, from summer highball sessions to winter warming drams, provide inspiration for how to enjoy spirits year-round. Cocktail workshops, led by skilled mixologists, offer hands-on opportunities to learn recipes, techniques, and presentation skills for entertaining at home.

Our events are designed for all levels of interest. Beginners can expect a friendly, approachable introduction to spirits without jargon, while seasoned enthusiasts will find depth, rare bottlings, and technical detail to satisfy their curiosity. Group sizes are often kept small to ensure a more personal experience, with opportunities to ask questions and engage in conversation.

Many of our in-store events also include exclusive offers or access to bottles only available to attendees, making them as rewarding for collectors as they are for casual drinkers. The atmosphere is welcoming, social, and often filled with the buzz of shared discovery — the perfect way to meet fellow enthusiasts or introduce friends to the world of fine spirits.

Our In-Store Events programme is more than just tasting; it’s about creating connections, between producer and drinker, between flavour and story, and between people who share a passion for exceptional spirits. Whether you’re seeking to expand your knowledge, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy a unique evening out, our events offer something to savour long after the last glass is poured.
