You've heard of the Macmillan Coffee Morning? It raises millions of pounds each year for cancer research and support. Well, we have decided to host a Macmillan Whisky Evening. There will not be a coffee, tea or Victoria sponge cake in sight.
Just whiskies from our own collection that will be available for sampling. We plan to bring around 50 bottles covering Scotch, American, Irish and other distilleries from around the world.
How will it work? BOOK YOUR FREE TICKET here to secure your place. Then on the night, you will donate whatever you feel this experience is worth, whatever you want to or can afford to. For guidance - our tasting tickets usually cost £25 and this gets you five whiskies. We will have donation points for cash or card available.
We will pour each whisky for you and ask you to Drink Responsibly - we are legally required to monitor consumption. This is not a tutored tasting as such, but an opportunity to chat and share a dram with people.
We also plan to hold an auction at the end of the night - this will enable you to make us an offer for the remainder of your favourite bottle, donate that amount and take it home.
All money raised on the night from sample sales and the auction will go directly to our dedicated Macmillan/JustGiving Whisky Evening page. All money from ticket sales will be held by Eventbrite and then paid to the charity by us.

Our Macmillan Whisky Evening will take place at The Haverstock Tavern, a fabulous pub on Haverstock Hill, NW3. This is just five minutes walk from Chalk Farm underground station (Northern Line / Edgware branch). Several local bus routes also stop nearby.
The event will last approximately 2 hours.
Please feel free to arrive early for a pre-tasting drink or bite to eat. They have a great selection of craft beers, good wine list and classic pub grub menu.
No previous whisky knowledge needed, just enthusiasm and interest.
All guests are asked to Drink Responsibly. Water will be provided.
Strictly over 18s only. Please bring ID if you are lucky enough to look close to that age.
