On Thursday and Friday, the 17th and 18th respectively, the Wade Bales Wine & Malt Whisky Affair 2013 promises 50 malts including The Balvenie 12 Year Old Double Wood, The Macallan, Ardbeg, Bunnahabhain, Talisker 10 Year Old, The Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Age of Discovery and Nikka.

Master Classes in Whisky and Wine will also be available.

If, like me, you can’t make it up country for the Whisky Live Fest this looks to be an excellent substitute.
