Cask your eyes on this! The Whisky Event returns
The Scots and the Irish can always lay claim to enjoying a centuries-long association with whisky, but there’s no doubting this beloved spirit is reaching into new horizons and becoming a far more global affair.
One only need look at the sheer volume of talent set to exhibit at The Whisky Event, a luxury showcase of more than 60 leading brands and distilleries – and 250 whiskies – which have been sourced from around the world.
Hosted by The Whisky World, the show follows on from its successful inaugural event last year and will be held on Sunday, 2 June, at the J W Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane.
While promising that this year’s show will be “bigger and better”, the organisers also hope to deliver “an exciting tour of the whisky world in three hours”.
The well-established Scotch, Irish and American brands are confirmed, but so too are newer arrivals from India, Taiwan, Japan and Australia.
This year also brings the presence of Milk & Honey, Israel’s first whisky distillery, which has recently arrived in UK outlets.
Guests will be treated to a cocktail bar from Grandes Distilleries Peureux, which will serve up alcoholic fruit garnishes alongside the Golden Eight Williams Pear Liqueur.
As a perfect complement to the whisky, the event also includes a lavish kosher buffet from Wembley-based firm Catering by Ezri.
Among the brands exhibiting at The Whisky event are Glenrothes, Glendronach, Benriach, Glenglassaugh, Bunnahabhain, Ledaig, Bain’s, Tobermory, Deanston, Gordon & MacPhail, Tamdhu, Glengoyne, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Macallan, Suntory Japanese Whisky, Glenmorangie, Ardbeg, Penderyn, Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, Aberlour, Springbank, Hazelburn, Longrow, Kilkerran, Whisky Works and Dalmore.
Also on hand are Jura, Fettercairn, Glenfiddich, Balvenie, GlenAllachie, Old Pulteney, Balblair, Ancnoc, Speyburn, Nikka, Kavalan, Amrut, Michter’s, Glenfarclas, Tomintoul, Glencadam, Paul John, Bruichladdich, Arran, That Boutique-y Whisky Company, Milk & Honey, Teeling, Craigellachie, Aberfeldy, Dewar’s, Aultmore, Bladnoch, Glen Moray, Tomatin, WhistlePig, Starward, Gelston’s and Benromach.
“There’s a huge range of whisky, yet people tend to only drink the ones they know,” says organiser Abe Lubelsky. “Our show will hopefully reveal all the hidden gems that are out there.”
The Whisky Event takes place on Sunday, 2 June, at the J W Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane. For more details and to book tickets, priced at £100 per person, visit thewhiskyevent.com

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
