Join us on Friday 19th June 2026, as the Border Spirits Society returns to the Barrel Room at The Thin White Duke for an intimate evening exploring all things grape and grain.
This guided tasting will showcase a carefully selected flight of whiskies from across the globe, each paired with a sample of the wine that seasoned its cask. Together, we will taste both the whisky and the wine side by side, exploring the full spectrum of wine cask influence — from sweet wines of the South of France to fortified wines from around the Mediterranean.
By comparing the wines with the whiskies they helped shape, we will discover the remarkable depth, character and complexity these casks bring to the spirit, and gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between wine and whisky maturation.
Starting at 7pm, the evening promises a relaxed and immersive exploration of whisky, cask influence and conversation among fellow enthusiasts in the unique surroundings of the Barrel Room.
Whether you are a seasoned whisky drinker or simply curious to explore something new, this tasting offers a memorable introduction to the depth and diversity of single malt whisky.
