Dom is now just over halfway to breaking even on his next tasting (nobody said there was money in whisky tastings!), which means half the tickets are now sold. So if you'd like to be a part of the tasting, move quickly because tickets won't stick around forever (hopefully!). Tickets cost £20pp, either ask at the bar or drop us a message and we'll see what we can do.

Our next tasting at the Diggers is... Our very own Dom again! Yes, that minor inconvenience called the World Cup is still on, so once again Dom is stepping up to keep the whisky flowing with "Dr Dom's Drams: Have You Ever Seen the Grain?" on Thursday 2 July at 7:30pm.

You'll be trying 5 grain whiskies in 5 different styles, and with a combined age of 92 years. Grain whisky has found itself the butt of the joke in the whisky world, but it shouldn't be that way. So if you love grain whisky, or are simply ready to open your heart and mind to something different, grab yourself a ticket and come along. Tickets are £20pp available at the bar, hope to see you there!
