The second wave of our 2026 Masterclasses is now live: World Whisky.

Join us as we take a deep dive into the White Peak Distillery, celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special tasting exploring the distillery’s remarkable journey and award-winning whiskies. We’ll also head across the pond to sample six different Nickolls & Perks barrel picks featuring highly limited and coveted releases, including Stagg and Weller, a rare opportunity to taste them all together. As always, spaces are extremely limited, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

We also have a limited number of places remaining for our first wave of masterclasses, featuring two renowned Scottish distilleries.

Based amidst the rugged landscapes surrounding the ruined Kilchoman Church on Islay, is the island’s only independent farm distillery.

Founded by Anthony and Kathy Wills, Kilchoman was created with a vision to revive the traditional grassroots practice of farm distilling. They take great pride in overseeing every stage of production on-site, from growing barley in the fields surrounding the distillery to distilling, maturing, and bottling their whisky. As a result, Kilchoman’s single malts are a true distillation of people, passion, and place.

Kilchoman will be returning to the 2026 Midlands Whisky Festival with an exciting range of expressions. We can’t wait to see what they have in store!

The first wave of our 2026 Masterclasses is now live: Scotch Distilleries. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We are delighted to be welcoming not one, but two of the oldest distilleries in the Scottish Highlands - Glengoyne & Old Pulteney. On Saturday, we’ll be celebrating 200 years of the ‘maritime malt’, a phenomenal milestone and the perfect opportunity to honour this mighty member of the Scotch old guard. On Sunday, we’ll be joined by Gordon Dallas of Glengoyne for a fast-paced, high-spirited storytelling tasting to remember.

As always, spaces are very limited, so book as soon as possible to avoid missing out. Our second wave of Masterclasses featuring distilleries outside of Scotland will be announced soon.

Last year’s Dream Dram selection will be a tough one to beat, but don’t worry, we’re going to give it a damn good try.

It was our biggest Dream Dram line-up ever, with 57 extraordinary drams available to taste. From 60-year-old whiskies and incredibly rare bourbons to magnums of rum from distilleries that no longer exist, it was a line-up to remember.

What was your favourite Dream Dram from last year?

And don’t forget, your first token is on us, giving you the chance to enjoy a dram up to the value of £499.
