Published

on

Whisky Live Festival, the organisers of the popular Whisky Live Festival and Showroom tasting events, have announced that three Showrooms will be held in South Africa in 2015. The Showrooms will take place in Durban on 24 and 25 April 2015, in Pretoria on 14 and 15 May 2015 and in Cape Town from 18 – 20 June 2015.

The Whisky Live Showrooms are intimate, handcrafted events that display some of the best local and international whiskies, presented under one roof by the world’s leading experts. Some of the whiskies available for tasting include firm favourites from House of Walker, Chivas Regal, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie and Bunnahabhain as well as newcomers Tomatin and Smokehead. Innis & Gunn, a craft beer made in whisky barrels, will also offer an intriguing interlude for the curious and adventurous alike.

Complementary products that enhance the whisky lifestyle will add to the experience, including high-end fragrances – Issey Miyake, Jean Paul Gaultier, van Cleef and Arpels, Bulgari and Burberry – premium cigars from The Cigar Club and a selection of Twisp’s flavoured filters. The Showrooms’ sophisticated, luxury environment creates the perfect setting for friends to catch up, for business associates to network, and for fans and newcomers to whisky to explore a wealth of tastes and scents in an intimate setting.

The Durban Showroom will return to the popular Suncoast Sun Zone, giving Durban fans of the dram the opportunity to enjoy their favourite whiskies and encounter new expressions of this ancient drink.

The Whisky Live Showroom in Pretoria is the first in the city and will take place at 012 Central, an exciting new downtown venue. The epitome of inner-city revival, 012 Central is housed in a former warehouse that has been transformed into the city’s latest hot spot, and is the ideal backdrop for enjoying a whisky with friends or colleagues.

The Cape Town Whisky Live Showroom has moved to an iconic V&A Waterfront location, The Lookout, offering more space for whisky fans than ever before against the backdrop of breath-taking ocean vistas. This event takes place over the same weekend as Father’s Day, offering city residents the perfect opportunity to spoil their dads.

“The 2014 Whisky Live Showrooms proved to be really popular, giving whisky fans and those keen to experiment with the dram the chance to enjoy old favourites and new expressions of whisky-making craft in an exclusive environment,” says Emily Stockden, COO of the Whisky Live Festival. “We are so excited to take the Showrooms to new venues that will give more people the opportunity to try new whiskies and new ways of drinking the dram. South Africans continue to break the stereotypes around whisky, and we look forward to welcoming men and women of all ages.”

Tickets cost R170 per person viahttp://www.whiskylivefestivalco.zaor http://www.ticketpro.co.za; however, visitors who register for the Whisky Live Festival Club at the event will receive R20 cash back or an additional 5 tasting vouchers. All tickets include a complimentary tasting glass, a 500ml bottle of Valpré Spring water and 15 tasting vouchers.
