Postmodern Whisky Tasting

A whisky tasting where drams are paired with a selection of media, stories, sounds, scents and ephemera for a truly immersive tasting...

Whisky is often paired with cheese, chocolate, or other delicious foodstuffs. But why stop there? In this unique tasting we pair three drams of specially-chosen whisky with a selection of carefully-chosen media and experiences.

Your tipples may be accompanied by a painting, a story, a specific scent, a moment from a film, a texture, a tone, a toy from the 1990s, a costume, a soundscape, a snack or song... or any combination of these.
Whatever the pairing, it will have been carefully chosen to present the whisky in a new and specific light.

Some whiskies are best drunk in the rain, or while listening to a bittersweet song, or while brewing a cup of tea in a hillside bothy. At this Postmodern Pairing we'll explore these exciting possibilities over the course of a 90-minute, three-dram tasting in a small group in the beautiful surroundings of the Port of Leith Distillery.

Your ticket includes three pre-selected drams, and you're welcome to order further refreshments from the bar.

Port of Leith is easily accessible by bus or tram, and the event will finish before the trams stop running. On arrival, take the elevators up to the seventh floor and we'll see you there!
