MFDF Manchester Whisky Festival

[Daley]

I thought i would give this a mention, the 1st Manchester Whisky Festival on Saturday 10th October 2009 at the Air and Space Hall, Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), Liverpool Road, Manchester from 12pm - 6pm. £16 entry, £5 per masterclass .

The wait is almost over! The biggest event, by far, of the Manchester Whisky Calendar is upon us. For one day only you will have the opportunity to come along and taste your way around Scotland, Japan, Ireland, the USA and even India! You will be accompanied on your voyage of discovery by many of the great and the good of the whisky-making industry. Distillery managers, Brand Ambassadors, and the like will be on hand to guide you through the huge range of whiskies on show. From the soft and gentle Glenlivet and Auchentoshan, to the full and rich Macallan, all the way to the peaty and intense Laphroaig and everything inbetween!

A few of the exhibitors confirmed so far:

Dalwhinnie, Cragganmore, Caol Ila, Talisker, Lagavulin, Ardmore, Macallan, Laphroaig, Highland Park, Balvenie, Glenfiddich, Bowmore, Auchentoshan, Suntory, Amrut, Gordon & Macphail, Cooley, Four Roses, Jameson, Glenlivet, Aberlour, Berry Brothers, Benromach

For those seeking an even greater experience, there will be masterclasses throughout the day, where some of the best minds in whisky will present very special tastings to small groups. These cost an additional, yet measly, £5 and are worth every penny given the opportunity they represent. Details on how to book the masterclasses are below.

All in all, if whisky is your thing - and even if it isn't - this is going to be right up your alley. The ticket price of £16 includes entrance to the main event, all your drams for the day and a free whisky tasting glass (worth around £4) on entrance to the event.

Please note: Children are not permitted into the event and we are strong advocates of responsible drinking.
