The Speyside Whisky Festival takes place from the end April and the beginning of May, with whisky lovers from around the world descending on an area that is home to some of the most iconic distilleries in Scotland.
As much as we'd like to take you all there to take part in the festivities, it is 18,000 KM's (give or take) to Speyside from Christchurch, so instead we're cracking open some celebratory whiskies and raising our glasses to this very special place. We do hope you'll join us.
Whisky tastings & events
Our tastings vary from distillery focused evening, food pairings, vintage selections, world whiskies and many more. These are fun, educational and social events where everyone is welcome.
Christchurch is our home, so the majority of events are based here, however we are often out on the road around the country, sometimes with special guests from Scotland and further afield.

Whether it's to celebrate a notable occasion for that special someone or you're looking to sample a few special drams yourself, a Flight in the Howff is a brilliant way to get acquainted with a trio of Scotland's finest whiskies. To book a flight CLICK HERE!
