The Whisky Lounge Ltd

Bought tickets for 2020 Bristol event. Zero communication since then until I emailed at the end of February. Funnily, they then they sent out information about the 2022 event a day after.I complained and asked for a refund and spoke with someone called Judith". They said they could offer an alternative whiskey set which I agreed to. Since then they have completed blanked me and ignored every email.Please do not give your money to these people. Do not expect anything in return for your money."

First time at the London event, previously visited others though. Very few distilleries seemed to be there compared to other shows, none from outside the UK and Ireland other than Starward, where were all the US ones? The independent bottles definitely saved the day, without them it would have been a very limited selection. Got the 2 for 1 tickets which were still on offer a week before the show so a good deal, but would be quite disappointed had I paid full price. I'd try again but expect better next time please.Edit: nice that individual replies have been posted with explanations, shows they're making an effort and I'd be happy to try it out again next year.

My friends and I had a great time at the Whisky Weekender this year. We went to the Saturday 12-4 session and were able to try so many great whiskies and lots of new ones as well! The food offerings were delicious and the vibe was just super friendly and positive. The sole reason I’m not giving it five stars is because I liked being upstairs at the venue better (I went in 2017).

Organised a private tasting event with The Whisky Lounge. Eddie picked a great selection of whiskeys to suit both the experienced whiskey drinkers in the group and the novices. Martin from the Manchester Whiskey Club did the tasting and gave us a good understanding of each Whisky and created a fun and unique experience for us. Would really recommend a private event with the whisky lounge.

Once again an absolutely brilliant Whisky Festival.The tasters were beautiful. The stories behind the drinks were amazing.Whisky, Whiskey, Rum and Gin....what more could I ask.Can't remember anything else about Edinburgh though. Apparently had a lovely meal after the Festival then woke up on the train in Newcastle.Can't wait for York.Well done again The Whisky Lounge Team.

I have been to the Whisky Weekender the last two years and it is an exceptionally good day out! All the Whisky vendors are so knowledgeable and I guarantee you'll find something out that you didn't already know! I really enjoyed the addition of being able to exchange a token for the gin exhibitors upstairs (especially as that terrace is beautiful, especially when the weather is glorious as it was). I would say that the vendors on the main gin table (not distillery specific) were noticeably less knowledgeable than anyone downstairs. I went on the Sunday for context and it is possible it was just my experience. All in all it's exceptional event

Been to 4 London Whisky Weekenders and we always have a good time. That said there was a noticeable lack of distilleries/exhibitors this year in comparison to previous years and less effort made by the exhibitors to stand out or showcase interesting things. Hoping that next year isn't a similar trend and it's brought back bigger and stronger.edit: appreciate the reply by the owner below. we will be back next year so keeping the faith for some new and exciting whiskies to taste!

Very enjoyable day and price compared favourably to similar events I have attended. Booked the masterclass with Ronnie Cox, well worth the additional £10 with a particularly nice and rare bottle to finish. However I have a few comments:- Agree with other reviewers the number of distilleries was low in comparison to other events, this did result in big groupings around each one- Please provide a listing of drams available to use the tokens against, I don't want to keep asking, it's annoying- Both the presenters in the masterclass and the coopering demonstration were difficult to hear, due to the nature of the venue and the general noise levels, perhaps look at separate rooms or mike them up

Went to the York whisky festival at the racecourse on the 27/11.Great event, lots of beautiful drinks to sample and really knowledgeable people to talk to about their distilleries and process.Great that you could also buy your favourite ones there to have them delivered rather than have to carry them home.

My partner and I have been attending these festivals for a few years now and we've never been disappointed. They are well-organised, highly entertaining, and lots of fun. They are fantastic events for those who would like to spend a whole afternoon or evening in the company of like-minded whisky-lovers and would like to taste whiskies that they would otherwise never see or notice. The exhibitors are always keen to please and make sure that no one leaves their stands without sampling at least two or three rare whiskies. We are looking forward to taking part in the next event be that in Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Nottingham or Manchester :).
