Pizazz in Portsmouth!

One of the grandest venues we’ve ever had the pleasure of hosting a festival in has to be Portsmouth Guildhall.  It’s a stunning building and was a salubrious backdrop to our whiskey circus coming to the city for the first time. This festival saw one of our resident brand ambassadors take the helm and deliver his first masterclass for us.  … Read More

Glorious Guildford: all the lowdown is here!

So, we rocked up to The Electric Theatre in Guildford and were delighted with how stunning the auditorium looked once we’d set up. The perfect size for our festival, it was backlit beautifully and we had that all-important breeze snaking through the room when it got warm. Perfect backdrop for the day! We changed the format for this festival to … Read More

Haslemere Hall hosts one hell of a hoopla

Haslemere Hall was another new venue for us, and we loved it so much that we re-booked for next year before the first session was over!  We had new staff on board this event and a new brand showcasing with us (more on them later), so there were new faces everywhere to mingle with- but we’d not all seen each … Read More

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

We have Dream Drams to introduce to you – but what are they, and why should you care?  Every event we are bringing a special bottle with us for you to sample.  99% of our bottles are available at a token each, but these are two tokens per sample because they’re just that little bit out of the ordinary.  They … 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. We’re also aware that a few people might like to come and sample as many of the whiskeys … Read More

Southampton, are you ready for a wintry dram? We are!

So, we’re starting to step up our events at The Whiskey Affair HQ and have only gone and booked Southampton for November.  We’ve chosen The Stage Door for our debut to the city and we think you’ll love the theatre vibe of the place, just like we did as soon as we walked in, it was instantly perfect for us. … Read More

New event! We’re coming to Reading in October!

Not content to rest on our laurels after two sold out events, we thought we’d put on some more.  We are heading to Reading in October in the majestic Berkshire to the grand setting of The Great Hall. Tickets are £8 for the sessions and this buys you: entry to the event; a glass to keep for your whiskey drinking forever … Read More

(No time for) lazing on a Sunny Afternoon in Guildford!

So now the dust has settled and we’ve all had a shower and put the whiskey away for another day; there’s been time to reflect on the absolute SCORCHER of an event at The Guildhall,  Guildford. Despite the blazing British summertime making a rare appearance, the people of Guildford came out in their droves to sample a dram or five … Read More
