This dark spirit is enjoying renewed popularity with growth now exceeding all other spirits globally, giving way to hand crafted blends that offer the discerning drinker a taste of something far more interesting than mainstream spirits can typically offer.
Following its hugely successful whiskey tasting evening earlier this year, Lake Macquarie Hotel is hosting another event to showcase its range of whiskies on December 14 at its bottleshop.
The evening will kick off at 4.30pm and offers a chance for patrons to sample whiskies from a number of suppliers, with Scotch, Irish and American whiskies available to taste.
Bottleshop General Manager Aaron, says it’s a great opportunity for whiskey lovers or those buying a gift, along with newcomers to the spirit to try before they buy and ensure they get the right blend for their palette.
“With premium ranges selling on average for $50 a bottle, customers have a chance to try something new before they make their purchase,” says Aaron.

Labels such as Monkey Shoulder, a scotch whiskey offering a blend of 3 single malts and Glen Grant a 10 year old single malt from Speyside will be just a few of the many whiskies to taste.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to chat to suppliers and gain some great insight into the fascinating process behind these hand-crafted blends.
“Our suppliers are extremely knowledgeable and with so many stories behind each of the whiskey’s it’s promising to be a great night, I think our customers will learn a lot and really enjoy it,” Aaron adds.
