More than 40 drinks connoisseurs were introduced to a neat new whisky experience last week as Aberdeen’s first premium whisky lounge officially launched.
Located within Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel and Chop Grill & Bar on St Andrew Street, Freedom An’ Whisky offered guests a taste of the lounge’s extensive menu which boasts over 150 premium single malts, sourced from Scotland’s top distilleries, as well as a variety of more than 30 gins.
Masterclasses from leading brands such as Laphroaig and Glenfiddich were also served alongside a selection of complementing grazing boards, providing an insight into what the new venue brings to the city.
Leading the event was Cherry Faurie, Freedom An’ Whisky’s very own ambassador.
Cherry, who is originally from The Philippines, brings her knowledge, experience of living on Islay and Jura and several whisky qualifications, offering guests the chance to hear the tales of some of the country’s finest malts whilst finding the right drink for their taste buds.
Cherry said: ‘Just a couple of months following the launch of Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel and Chop Grill & Bar we are very excited to introduce Freedom’ An Whisky to Aberdeen.
‘We opened the doors to the lounge last week and the official launch event with our VIP guests was the celebration of this. Everyone really enjoyed the mouth-watering experience which showcased some of the great brands that we have partnered with to bring this new and unique venue to Aberdeen.
‘This is somewhere very different for the city and we want to ensure that guests have the best visit, whether they’re enjoying a whisky-based cocktail before dinner or a dram on the rocks before bed. Whisky doesn’t have to be a serious drink so we’re welcoming all to come in, relax in our luxurious surroundings and get to know us.’
From experts to first-time tasters, guests can sip on the spirit whilst in the relaxing surroundings of dark wood, traditional Scottish interiors and crackling fires in Freedom An’ Whisky.
It is open Monday to Thursday 4pm–midnight, Friday 4pm–1am, Saturday 2pm–1am and Sunday 2pm–midnight.
