Our Story

Barrel & Bond Whisky Tasting was founded by Jonny in 2023. With an SQA whisky qualification and years of experience in the industry, Jonny brings a unique and approachable flair to every whisky tasting experience.

 

Whether it’s a private party, corporate event, celebration or wedding, Jonny curates engaging sessions that go beyond the dram —pairing each whisky with thoughtfully selected food to elevate the tasting. From curious beginners to seasoned connoisseurs, guests are guided through each pour with warmth, humour, and deep knowledge of the craft.

"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!"
