Think pale whiskies are gentle and forgettable?
Think again. Beyond the Pale is all about drams that may look delicate in the glass but pack in character, charm, and flavour in spades. Join Chris from Berry Brothers & Rudd – Britain’s oldest wine & spirit merchant – as we explore six brilliant whiskies that prove colour isn’t everything:
- Benrinnes Small Batch – rich layers of fruit and spice, with that classic Benrinnes backbone.
- Balmenach – a proper Highlander: earthy, malty, and full of personality.
- Knockdhu – bright, crisp, and easy to love – a dram that feels like springtime in a glass.
- Glendullan – sweet, juicy, and orchard-fresh, one of Speyside’s best-kept secrets.
- Glen Moray – mellow and moreish, with gentle vanilla and soft fruits.
- Caol Ila Small Batch – pale as straw but brimming with coastal smoke and brine.
It’s the perfect way to warm up for Manchester Whisky Festival – a relaxed evening of discovery, laughs, and some seriously tasty drams.Spaces are limited, so grab your ticket now and join us for Beyond the Pale.
These tastings usually accomodate 25-30 people and are a special occasion, where we all get to listen to and enjoy the guest presenter's craic as well as their lovely whiskies. Just bring an open-mind and a willing palate!
