Celebrate our national drink as part of pub chain’s whisky showcase

Nearly 80 pubs are hosting their second annual National Whisky Showcase.

Running until 25 February, across Nicholsons’ 77 pubs nationwide, a whole host of unmissable events are planned, including whisky brand ambassador talks, tastings, exclusive offers and competitions.

Lovers of a wee dram are being encouraged to explore the world of whisky and find new favourites this winter.

Whisky-lovers and keen novices are spoilt for choice with a selection of over 40 UK and global drams on offer – highlights from this year’s showcase include Bruichladdich’s Classic Laddie, Hibiki Harmony and Penderyn Madeira.
