Around the Whisk(e)y World at Beneath Driver Lane

Around the Whisk(e)y World — A Mini Whisky Festival
Saturday 16th May | 3pm – 5pm

Take a journey around the whisk(e)y world with us.

Firstly, why the (e)?? American and Irish Whiskey is spelt WITH an "E" whereas Australian, Scottish and Japanese there is none! A little fun fact what we pay respect to in our naming.

In celebration of World Whisky Day, this curated, ticketed “mini festival” invites you to explore the distinct styles and traditions of global whisk(e)y through a guided, self-paced tasting experience.

On arrival, you’ll receive a welcome cocktail and your own whisk(e)y map, then set off across the venue to discover 7 tasting stations, each representing a different region:

Australia · Ireland · Japan · USA · Scotland (Highlands/Speyside & Islay)
Featured Distilleries:
Nikka
House of Suntory
Redbreast
Green Spot
Method and Madness
Morris
Starward
Lark
Glendronach
Buffalo Trace

At each station, you’ll find a selection of three whiskies from that region, poured as small tasting serves, designed to help you explore, compare, and uncover new favourites.

This experience is all about discovery, education, and premium pours — whether you’re just getting into whisky or already deep in it.

Your ticket includes:

• Welcome cocktail on arrival
• Beneath Driver Lane branded tasting glass
• Access to 7 regional tasting stations
• Unlimited whiskies to explore across the experience
• Whisk(e)y map to guide your journey
• Live blues music throughout
• Roaming food

Move at your own pace, revisit your favourite regions, and settle in with a dram as the music rolls on.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
