Welcome to the Wee Toon Tasting

A relaxed 5 dram Watt Whisky tasting to welcome you to Campbeltown and ease you in to the week ahead!

Whiskyopolis Walking Tour & Tasting

Location: Watt Whisky HQ

A collaborative walking tour and tasting with our good friend David Stirk. We’ll make him do most of the work though since he’s been doing lots of research about Campbeltown for his latest book! After a walking tour round Campbeltown it’s back to HQ for a 4 dram tasting (2 from David and 2 from us). There’ll also be the opportunity to buy copies of David’s latest book, ‘Whiskyopolis - The Rise, Fall and Resurgence of Campbeltown’s Whisky Industry’, and a chance to get copies of his previous works, ‘Independent Scotch’ and ‘Pioneering Spirit’ if you haven’t already.

Treble Trouble! Watt Whisky x Decadent Drinks x North Star Spirits

Location: SKDT Hall, Kirk Street

A triple-whammy trifecta of indie bottler terrific-ness! Julie Hamilton and Marcos McCurley will both join us for this indie extravaganza; 6 drams, 2 from each company, and plenty of chat.

The Colour Blind Tasting

Location: Watt Whisky HQ, Kirk Street

A few people suggested doing a blind tasting this year so here it is! 6 drams, all poured blind and you have to figure out/guess the distillery, age and the colour Mark smells it as. Simple. We might even throw in a prize for the best blind taster…

The Watt Whisky Pub Quiz @ The Comm

Location: The Commercial Inn, Cross Street

We normally do Wednesday night tastings in the Commercial but since it’s Malts Festival we thought we’d do something a little bit different - our first ever Watt Whisky Pub Quiz! Questions will cover whisky, Campbeltown and some of Kate & Mark’s specialist subjects. You can play on your own or in a team (maximum 4 people) and there’ll be a bottle of Watt Whisky in it for the winner. We’ll even throw in a welcome dram for all the quizzers.

The Nothing Special Tasting

Location: Watt Whisky, 51 Kirk Street
