What a terrific experience. Booked Barrel and Bond for my best mates stag do… and I will be honest 4 out of the 7 of us did not like Whisky going into this tasting [...] But the experience that Jonny takes you on is second to none and there is a whisky taste for everyone.
 
The food pairing adds a great element to the evening and the whisky. Every detail, presentation and knowledge is second to none and well thought out. I can’t thank Jonny enough…. Oh and he also drove from Birmingham to Monmouthshire, Wales to make it happen. Thank you Jonny!
