At the end of the night\, you’ll bottle your creation and leave with a one-off 20cl bottle of Scotch whisky — a blend that exists nowhere else. \nThe exact drams will be revealed on the night\, adding an extra layer of discovery to this immersive experience. \nWhether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned whisky lover\, this is a rare opportunity to go beyond tasting and step into the art of whisky creation. \nThe Old Bank Blending Workshop\n📅 Friday 27 March\n🕖 7pm\n🎟️ £60 \nSpaces are limited — reserve your place and create something truly your own 🥃✨
