The Cabinet Sessions with Millie Milliken
Join award-winning whisky writer Millie Milliken as she selects five whiskies from her extensive private collection to share with you. With the possibility to try anything from one-off bottles and limited editions, to Millie's favourite everyday drams and some that would break the bank, this is a chance to try some of the world's most exciting whiskies, and learn a little something along the way too.
From distillery stories to production methods, introductions to lesser-known whisky making regions, to Millie's personal connections with the brands, this will be a chance to learn about whisky in a fun and convivial setting. You never know what Millie might unearth from the back of her cabinet...
