Southampton review : a stormy November night

        Well, the weather outside was frightful – but thankfully, Southampton was delightful (and we think Sinatra would agree.)  We’re a week late with this update, yes – apologies for the delay but the matter of a small hand operation rendered typing a mere pipedream last week.  This week though, we’re back in action and as well … Read More

The Whiskey Affair: Uber-Responsible

We love to see you all enjoying our Whiskey. It’s what gets us up in the morning (along with a strong cuppa – milk and two, if you’re making) and allows us to put in the passionate hard work that we do.

Reading: the home of the sweet tooth and our busiest events yet!

We descended on Reading on Saturday for the first time and were excited to bring our festival to the most lavish backdrop yet – The Great Hall in Reading University.

Focus on: Paul John Whisky and ‘our Shilton’

Shilton is one of our regular brand representatives at the events.  We invited him to the Brighton event and not only loved the whisky, but the man behind the introductions, so we kept asking him back!  An excellent ambassador for the Paul John brand and a wealth of knowledge, delivered in style, we thought we’d pick his brains a little … Read More

Our focus today is on that bombshell you see darting about at every event snapping photos left, right, centre, underneath, above, behind and in front.  Hana Laurie is our resident photographer, but she also brings her fabulous photobooth with her to capture every aspect of the events for future reference and blackmail purposes. A wedding photographer and teacher by trade, … Read More
