St Albans businessman Daniel Humphrey, has nearly sold half of the tickets to next year’s Summerton Whisky Festival .
After the success of last year’s sold-out festival, The Summerton Whisky Festival is back and runs across two sessions on May 18 at the Lower Red Lion in Fishpool Street.
Retailing his full-bottle club subscription has been hard in the run-up to Christmas, with many retailers suffering due to the continued cost-of-living crisis.
However, the festival has certainly bucked a trend due to Daniel’s committed members and the local community, who are obviously keen whisky connoisseurs.
Daniel (pictured) said: “We have a great line-up of brands that we can all taste on the day, covering Scotch, Irish, American and World whisky, with tickets covering not just entry but also all the great whiskies we will be sampling, including Wolfburn, The Oxford Artisan Distillery and Mackmyra…With over 50 to try, I don’t recommend you aim to taste them all.”
Tickets include whisky sampling and a tasting glass to take home.
Meanwhile, membership of the Summerton Whisky Club continues to grow.
“Our next club meet-up is at the Scottish National Whisky Festival in Edinburgh this December,” said Daniel. “It will be the first whisky festival I’ve attended in Scotland and something I’m very much looking forward to.”
Summerton Whisky Festival sessions are available either in the afternoon 12noon-4pm or evening, 5-9pm.
