Meet Jonny – Founder of Barrel & Bond Whisky Tasting
Exceptional Drams, Perfectly Paired
Our Story
Barrel & Bond Whisky Tasting was founded by Jonny in 2023, driven by a passion for whisky, food, and bringing people together. What started as a love of sharing great drams has grown into a UK-wide mobile whisky tasting experience, delivering memorable events for private parties, birthdays, stag and hen dos, weddings, corporate events, festivals, hotels, venues, and celebrations of all kinds.
SQA Qualified & Passionately Hosted
Jonny’s formal SQA whisky qualification provides a trusted foundation for every tasting, combining expert knowledge with a relaxed and approachable hosting style. Whether guests are complete beginners or seasoned whisky lovers, every session is designed to feel engaging, welcoming, and memorable — making quality whisky approachable without ever feeling intimidating.
Every whisky tasting experience is tailored to the atmosphere of your event — from private whisky tastings at home and milestone birthdays to wedding entertainment, stag and hen dos, hotel experiences, food pairing evenings, festivals, and corporate events across the UK.
Each tasting is a journey through flavour, storytelling, and discovery. Carefully selected whiskies are paired with engaging hosting, flavour profiling, and optional food pairings to create an experience that feels social, relaxed, and genuinely memorable.
