Whisky Blending Experience for Two with The Whisky Lounge
About this experience
Sometimes two things are so great that you’re left with no option but to put them together. Whisky blending is the art of doing exactly that, so that each one makes its contribution to the finished blend without outweighing the other.
Now’s your chance to learn about the coveted process. Proceedings will get underway with an introduction to whisky, where you’ll be able to sample a handful of whiskies of differing styles. Your resident whisky expert will talk you through each one’s origins and processes, as well as the smell and flavours to expect upon tasting. Then things get scientific: armed with a pipette and a mini bottle, you’ll slowly build up a blend of your very own. Along the way you’ll discover how blended whisky came to be and why it remains the backbone of the Scotch whisky industry.
To make your experience extra-special, you’ll take home your bespoke blend to enjoy whenever you please.

“Brilliant whisky blending ”
A great evening. Lots of knowledge and whisky to try.
“Whisky experience”
Presenter very knowledgable, pleasant personality and good delivery of information. Activity sessions were very well organised and well resourced. Good atmosphere throughout.
“Brilliant!”
Our session was at "383 Euston Road", which proved to be the function room of the Green Man PH. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned a bit about whiskey. Tried a few. Tried blending. Then used the results of the blending to produce two double shot bottles of the chosen blend.
