Macallan Whisky Tasting with Food

A guided whisky tasting in London built around the Macallan Double Cask range, with a tapas plate and two cocktails served during a two-hour session at La Bibliothèque on Kingsland Road.

This outing is a guided tasting of Macallan whiskies, with food, hosted at La Bibliothèque London, a library on Kingsland Road in Hackney. The tasting centres on the Macallan Double Cask Series, with a flight of the 12-year and 15-year expressions. Each session includes a welcome cocktail made with Macallan, a second whisky cocktail prepared by the team, and a tapas plate chosen to accompany the drinks.

The tasting is led by a member of the hosting team, who explains the heritage of the brand, how to taste whisky properly, and how each dram works with food. The format suits whisky enthusiasts who want to compare the two expressions, and newcomers who would like a structured introduction. Guests must be 18 or over and bring valid photo identification. A discretionary service charge is added on the evening.

Because the session is around two hours and is seated around a table, it works well for couples or small groups of friends looking for a relaxed evening out in central London.
