Whisky Festival in a Box brought to you by The Whisky Lounge

‘Whisky Festival in a Box’ is the first virtual festival from the biggest provider of whisky events in the UK, The Whisky Lounge. The virtual extravaganza of whisky fun will be broadcasting live, all weekend from The Spirit of Yorkshire distillery, on Youtube, Twitter and Facebook.

The festival comprises 7 themed tasting sessions - Scotch #1, Scotch #2, World, Asian, English, Indie and, for those with a penchant for smoke, a Peated session. Each session has an accompanying whisky tasting box to help bring the festival experience home.

Every 90 minute tasting session will be hosted by Eddie Ludlow, founder of The Whisky Lounge, alongside iconic distillers and ambassadors who will be introducing their own whiskies live from different corners of the globe.

In addition to the tasting sessions, The Whisky Lounge’s YouTube hit lockdown series, ‘Desert Island Drams’, continues during the festival with Eddie Ludlow himself being interviewed by The Spirit of Yorkshire’s whisky director and close friend, Joe Clark. Whisky fans will also be able to test their knowledge with a breakfast ‘Malt-Teasers’ quiz with Inverhouse Distillers and relax with a cocktail session Saturday evening.
