The Main Event

Discover the art of whisky production with this Barley & Beyond: New Make Tasting Experience, a perfect gift for enthusiasts and novices alike. Nestled in the heart of Manchester, this experience takes place at one of the city’s finest independent distilleries, renowned for their dedication to crafting award-winning spirits.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a welcome drink made from the distillery's New Make spirit. This sets the stage for a fascinating behind-the-scenes view of the distillery, led by passionate hosts. You'll journey through the entire production process: from grain selection, mash bill creation, fermenting, distilling and ageing. Each phase is performed in-house, showcasing the skill and dedication that goes into every drop.

The experience doesn't just end with the tour. You'll delve into the stories behind the distillery’s One Point Six Whisky, gaining insights into the inspiration and heritage of the brand. You’ll also participate in a tasting session where you can savour the new make spirit at various stages of production. This not only enhances your understanding of how ageing affects the flavour but also gives you a rare glimpse into the transformation of raw spirits into sophisticated whisky.

Whether you’re a seasoned whisky lover or curious about the intricacies of distillation, the Barley & Beyond: New Make Tasting Experience is an exceptional journey into the world of whisky.
