Barrel & Bond Whisky Tasting, Birmingham (2026)

15/05/2026

🥃 BIG NEWS… Barrel & Bond is heading to its very first festival! 🎪

This July, I’ll be bringing Barrel & Bond Whisky Tastings to the amazing — and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited.

If you know me, you’ll know I love bringing people together through whisky, stories, flavour, and a bit of fun — so the chance to do that at a festival feels pretty special.

I’ll be hosting relaxed, interactive whisky tastings throughout the weekend, giving festival-goers the chance to explore a curated range of whiskies, discover flavour profiles, learn a little whisky knowledge (without it ever feeling too serious 😅), and hopefully find a new favourite dram along the way.

Whether you’re completely new to whisky or already know your way around a bottle, there’ll be something for everyone.

Really looking forward to this one — if you’re heading to Deer Shed, come say hello and join me for a dram 🥃

One of the best parts about what I do is discovering whisky in places you wouldn’t expect…

Down in Falmouth, I stopped by and got stuck into their Hell’s Stones whisky 🥃

This one’s got real character — think rich, slightly smoky notes balanced with a touch of sweetness and spice. Not your typical dram, but that’s exactly the point. It’s bold, a bit rebellious, and properly memorable.

What I loved most was tasting it at the source. You get the full picture — the story behind it, the passion that goes into it, and how it’s meant to be enjoyed. That’s something you just don’t get off a shelf.

It’s a good reminder that whisky isn’t just about the big names — there’s a whole world of craft producers doing seriously interesting things if you’re willing to look for it.

And trust me… I’ll be bringing a few of these finds into future tastings 👀

Special shout out to and for a wonderful!

Not your average night at the barracks 🪖🥃

Had the pleasure of hosting a whisky tasting at an Officers’ Mess — and what a crowd. Properly engaged, full of questions, and up for exploring something new.

We travelled through a range of drams… but one stood out 👀
Hibiki Harmony made such an impression it earned a permanent spot behind the bar — not a bad result!

These are the nights I love — great people, learning something new, and a few standout whiskies along the way.

Shout out to for organising the evening!

Because great days deserve great whisky.

Edinburgh didn’t happen… so we brought Edinburgh to them 🥃🏴

This stag do at turned into a proper night to remember with our Around the World in 80 Drams experience 🌍

From quality whiskies to… some very questionable Chinese whisky (yes, it got tasted 😂), the lads were all in from start to finish.

Big laughs, great atmosphere, and a top group to host — exactly what a stag do should be.

Big thanks to for organising the stag do!

If you’ve got a stag, party or event coming up and want something different… we’ve got you covered 🥃

A whisky experience to remember…

There’s something special about sharing a dram—and even more so when it’s a gift that turns into a memory.

This week, I had the pleasure of hosting a private whisky tasting for and his stepdad, who joined me on the “Around the World in 80 Drams” journey 🌍

Both already whisky fans, but what really elevated the experience? The curated food pairings—unlocking new flavours, contrasts, and combinations they hadn’t explored before.

Moments like this are what Barrel & Bond is all about:
✔️ Great whisky
✔️ Great company
✔️ And experiences that bring people closer together

Even better—this one was booked using one of our gift vouchers, making it a truly thoughtful and unique present 🎁

If you’re looking for something different for birthdays, celebrations, or just an excuse to get people together… you know where to find us.

Rolling out the experience to you.

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day, done properly…

There are plenty of ways to celebrate today… but for me, it starts with a glass of Redbreast 12 Year Old 🇮🇪🥃
Big shoutout to & .distillers for producing something seriously special.

Rich, smooth, and full of character—this is Irish whiskey at its finest. Think dried fruits, toasted oak, and that signature sherry sweetness that just keeps you coming back for another sip.

No green beer here… just proper whiskey, good company, and a quiet nod to the Emerald Isle 🍀
Picked this one up via (always dangerous for the bank balance…).

Whether you’re raising a glass in a packed pub or from your own sofa—sláinte!

🥃 Corporate Whisky Tasting in Glasgow

I had the pleasure of hosting my first corporate whisky tasting in Glasgow for Brush Group, celebrating the opening of their new office for .

The event brought together staff and clients to mark the occasion and it was a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish. Alongside the whisky tasting there were plenty of activities throughout the evening, including mini golf, giving everyone a chance to relax, chat and enjoy the celebration.

One of the highlights of the night was hearing a speech from former Scotland rugby captain , who shared some fantastic stories from his career.

Of course the main event was the guided whisky tasting, where guests explored a range of whiskies and learned about the flavours, origins and stories behind each dram. The feedback from staff, clients and the event organisers was fantastic and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.

Corporate events like this are a brilliant way to bring people together — great whisky, great conversations and a memorable experience to celebrate an exciting milestone.

A big thank you to Brush Group and Rybka for having me along to be part of the celebrations in Glasgow.

If you’re planning a corporate event, office opening or client entertainment evening, a guided whisky tasting is a fantastic way to add something unique to the occasion.
