Kilkerran Tour Tasting on 25 October Is Sold Out

The first evening of the season belongs to Campbeltown. Whisky expert Andrew Wallace comes from the Kilkerran distillery to host the Kilkerran Tour Tasting on Sunday 25 October at 17:00, and all 12 seats are taken.

The lineup shows why it sold quickly. Guests taste the Kilkerran 12 Years Old and the Kilkerran 16 Years Old, the Kilkerran 14 Years Old 2011 Tour Edition bottled at 55% for this tour, two cask samples (a 2020 Fino cask and a Heavily Peated 10 Years Old), and one final pour that stays a secret until the night itself.

The Yamazaki Tasting on 29 October Pours the New Limited Release 2026

On Thursday 29 October at 19:30, Daniel Schöll hosts an evening built around Suntory's new limited edition. The ticket costs €79.

The Lineup

The evening opens with a Yamazaki Distiller's Highball as a welcome drink. Then come the Yamazaki 12 Years Old, three cask samples that are not for sale anywhere, the Yamazaki Refill Spanish Oak Limited Release Edition 2026 and, to close, the Yamazaki 18 Years Old.

Why the Limited Release 2026 Matters

The new limited edition is bottled at 48% from whisky distilled in 2014 and 2015 and matured in refill Spanish oak casks. Suntory's official tasting notes describe stewed apricot compote with cloves and nutmeg on the nose, fresh cherries, dried figs and shaved cacao on the palate, and a finish of coffee and wood smoke. Our article Yamazaki Refill Spanish Oak 2026: 7 Things to Know covers the release in detail.

Distillery Background

Yamazaki, founded in 1923 near Kyoto, is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery. Tasting its 12 and 18 Years Old next to a new limited edition and three unreleased cask samples shows how wide the house style reaches.

The Glendronach Masterclass on 27 November Marks 200 Years

On Friday 27 November at 19:30, the Glendronach Team leads a masterclass for the distillery's 200th anniversary. The ticket costs €59, and all 12 seats were still available when this article was published.

Six Expressions in One Evening

The lineup runs through the Glendronach 15 Years Old, the 18 Years Old and the 21 Years Old in its redesigned 2025 packaging, then two of the distillery's Ode releases, Ode to the Embers at 48.4% and Ode to the Dark at 50.8%.

The Boynsmill House Edition

The star of the evening is the Glendronach 14 Years Old Boynsmill House Edition, bottled at 46.8%. It was made to mark 200 years of Glendronach and pays tribute to Boynsmill House, the building that has stood at the heart of the distillery since 1826.

A Fourth Evening With Glenfarclas Is in Preparation

A fourth tasting at the shop will be dedicated to Glenfarclas, the Speyside distillery that has belonged to the Grant family since 1865 and is known for its long tradition of sherry cask maturation. The date, host, price and final lineup are not confirmed yet, and they will be published on the Spiritory tastings page first.

Until then, the Glenfarclas 190th Anniversary Limited Edition is available on Spiritory, and our Glenfarclas vs GlenDronach comparison explains how the two sherried Speyside and Highland styles differ, which makes it good preparation for both evenings.

How a Tasting at the Spiritory Shop Works

Seats, Length and Who Can Join

Each tasting seats 12 guests and lasts about two hours. A ticket covers one person and includes the guided tasting of the full lineup with the host. The hosts adapt each session to the room, so the evenings suit newcomers as well as experienced drinkers. Guests must be 18 or older and may be asked for ID at check in.

Booking and Tickets

Tickets are sold on each tasting's page on Spiritory and cannot be returned or exchanged. After purchase you receive a confirmation email, which you show at the door together with your ID. Every bottle in a tasting lineup can also be bought on Spiritory, and further bottles may be available in the shop on the night.

Getting There

The Spiritory Shop is at Plinganserstraße 6, 81369 Munich, in the Stemmerhof. Bus lines 53 and 153 stop directly in front of the Stemmerhof at Sendlinger Kirche, and Harras station (U6, S7 and BOB) is about five minutes on foot. Parking is available at the Stemmerhof, with the first hour free. Our guide 7 Things to Know Before You Visit the Spiritory Shop in Munich covers the shop itself, and the best whisky tastings in Munich in autumn 2026 puts the evenings in a wider city context.
