Loved it
Myself and some friends were lucky enough to experience this through an evening at Baloci restaurant. The food pairings and whiskey worked really well, the food from the restaurant alongside Jonathan's recommendation were all fantastic, great experience. Jonny is very knowledgeable, a great guide, and very personable - we have hired him for a private event in a few months and we are very much looking forward to it!

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 (nothing to do with hangovers). 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!

As a non-whiskey drinker I was nervous. Jonny is however fantastic and I enjoyed each whiskey I tried. Would strongly recommend for any group occasions birthdays/stags/corporate gigs!

Jonny gave us a brilliant experience for a friend's stag do! Jonny was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and passionate about his whiskey. Jonny took us through a wide variety of whiskeys, each with their own thoughtful pairing, it worked really well! I'd strongly recommend Barrel & Bond for anyone hosting a similar event!

Highly Recommended!
Jonny was appointed by my best man to do a scotch whiskey tasting session with all 18 of my closest friends and family. He delivered the whole evening with perfection! It was genuinely insightful and many of us learned a lot about the varieties of scotches from across different parts of Scotland. He was fascinating to listen to and kept all of us entertained. A true professional and a super nice guy. Thanks Jonny!

Game Changer
Had a private whisky tasting with Jonny and it was such a great experience! I’ve always been interested in whisky but never really took the time learn about it, and this was the perfect way to do just that. Jonny really knows he’s talking about and he was super nice and easy to chat with. The food pairings really tie everything together, would have happily done a second round of tasting right away! Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful evening from start to finish! Jonathan was professional from the outset; and along with the whisky tasting, there were carefully ( and very tasty) chosen food pairings…and lots of knowledgeable whisky based information too. It was a pleasure to invite Jonathan into our house…a highly recommendable evening!!!

Whisky in the jar!
I booked Jonathon for a fun alternative to an evening in the pub for a group of about 10 of us and he delivered a fascinating and engaging session. We had a great time learning about whiskey and appreciating the different flavours that John had masterfully paired with a platter of delicious treats.
