Saltire Rare Malt Whisky Tweet Tasting


In addition to our more established Tweet Tasting partners, during the last 14 years we’ve always been equally excited to bring you dramfotainment from some of the newer dramming names on the block. Talking of which, we’re very much looking forward to doing exactly that on September 4th, with the Fife based independent bottler: Saltire Rare Malt Whisky Company

Established in 2022, Saltire Rare Malt Whisky Company was founded by Nigel Heywood and Keith Rennie, who over the last few decades have been building a uniquely curated collection of over 250 casks; from famous labels, rare gems and casks from 'lost distilleries'.

Our lips are sealed for the moment on what we’ll be pouring and exploring on the night, but what we can tell you is that we’ll be sharing, sipping and savouring some truly sensational sips!

Full details coming soon, but if you fancy taking part in what promises to be an epic evening of tweet tastery click here to register by emailing your name, Twitter / X handle, postal address, phone number and date of birth. Please also remember to mark the subject line of your email: #SaltireRareMaltWhisky
 
The closing date to register is August 8th, and if you are registering to take part, please make sure that you will be free on the evening of September 4th to take part!

Even if you're not one of the selected Tweet Tasters, it'd be great to have you following all the evening’s dramfotainment over on Twitter / X, on September 4th from 19:00 BST via #SaltireRareMaltWhisky

Registration open to over 21's only!
