New in 2026! Warehouse Tastings

Looking for a deeper, geekier whisky dive?

Then join one of our pre-show Warehouse Tastings from noon to 1pm, available for an additional charge when buying tickets for Whisky Social!

Unscripted and unbranded, our Warehouse Tastings are intimate geek sessions, tucked into the three corners of our brick warehouse, while our esteemed vendors set up for the main event!

During this hour guests will be treated to an informal session of drams and banter, ‘un-chillfiltered’ so to speak: no slideshows and no swag, just whiskies from our personal archives, and the stories that go with them.

2026 Warehouse Tastings — $89 per session

WhiskyMad with Régis Lemaitre from 12pm–1pm

This session is one for the dreamers and the lovers: of Springbank, of living in Scotland, of well-sherried, full proof single malt whisky, of falling head over heels with a cask and bottling it under your own name.

Our longtime friend Régis has done all the above, and looks forward to sharing some of the casks he’s bottled, along with the origin story of how a young Frenchman planted roots in Scotland, curated some of its most notable whisky bars, and made a name for himself as ‘Régis WhiskyMad’.

  • Glengoyne 1990, 58.2% – Bottled in 2006 from a First Fill Sherry Butt

  • Glenrothes 2000, 54.5% – Bottled in 2007 from a First Fill Sherry Hogshead

  • Springbank 1968, 40.2% – Bottled in 2008 from a Refill Sherry Cask

  • Tullibardine 1987, 51% – Bottled in 2009 from a Sherry Hogshead

A Love Letter to Ardbeg with Johanna Ngoh from 12pm–1pm

‘Inside baseball’ meets whisky as Whisky Social founder Johanna Ngoh reminisces about Ardbeg’s revival and the origins of its cult status. How do we love thee, Ardbeg? Let us count the ways by opening these four quirky, very independent bottlings, seldom seen in the wild.

  • Ardbeg 1964, 40% – Bottled in 1995 by Gordon & MacPhail

A Love Letter to Japan with Charles Anderson from 12pm–1pm

As a consummate Japan-ophile (who used to make shoji for a living, truth!) Whisky Social founder Charles Anderson is champing at the bit to relive his memories of Japan, through these four obscure bottles that speak to the craft and dedication of Japanese whiskymakers.

  • Mars Shinshu ‘The Revival 2011 Komagatake‘, 58%

  • Chichibu 2021 London Edition, 51.5%

  • Chichibu Distillery II, 55.5%
