Bunnahabhain Virtual Whisky Tasting
Bunnahabhain distillery helps whisky lovers celebrate Fèis Ìle in spirit with ‘Feis at Home’…
It’s one of the most anticipated calendar dates for whisky fans who descend on Islay’s shores year after year. However, the cancellation of this Spring’s world-famous Feis Ile festival won’t stop Bunnahabhain from throwing its (virtual) doors open to all.
Physical celebrations may be on hold due to social distancing guidelines. Nontheless, Bunnahabhain is inviting whisky fans to ‘Feis at Home’. Visit the shores of Islay via a special live tasting of not one, but two exceptional new festival editions.
Hosted by renowned whisky expert Dave Broom, Bunnahabhain Distillery Manager Andrew Brown will be joined by Master Blender Julianne Fernandez, Master Distiller Stephen Woodcock and Visitor Centre Manager Dr Billy Sinclair for the live stream on Friday May 29 from 8pm (BST). The group will lead whisky fans through a tasting and take part in a panel discussion about the two limited-edition expressions being released to mark the occasion.
