A spirited evening: The Whisky Event comes to Park Lane
72 brands from 8 countries, including Scotland, Japan, the United States, and Israel showcased at annual event for connoisseurs
More than 600 imbibers enjoyed this year’s Whisky Event at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane.
Hosted by The Whisky World, the festival, which has rapidly become a highlight in the whisky events calendar, showcased the diversity and quality of whiskies from around the globe.
An incredible 72 brands from 8 countries, including Scotland, Japan, the United States, and Israel, were represented.
Organiser Abe Lubelsky told Jewish News: “The response from both attendees and exhibitors has been simply outstanding. Our goal was to celebrate whisky in all its glory, educate attendees, and foster a sense of community among whisky lovers. The evening was more successful than we could have ever anticipated.”
The show offered attendees the chance to taste a wide range of whiskies, including rare and unique expressions, attend expert-led masterclasses, engage in spirited discussions with brands, and enjoy a lavish kosher buffet.
The Whisky Event featured the biggest names in the industry and new artisan makers, side by side, from Johnnie Walker and Uncle Nearest, through Talisker and Glenfiddich, to Spiritfilled and Chapter 7.
Masterclasses on Diageo’s Prima & Ultima collection, hosted by Colin Dunn, and on Yamazaki’s 2022 Cask Series, hosted by Raffaele Di Monaco, were an opportunity to learn in-depth about the collections.
Attendee Ed Leigh, an expert in independent whisky brands said: “The Whisky Event is one of the highlights of the year. It really is the ideal opportunity to explore the best brands, try unique whiskies, and discover new artisan whisky makers.”
Lubelsky continued: “We are already looking forward to 2024 and making The Whisky Event 2024 even bigger and better. We want to continue to make this the must-attend event for all whisky lovers and enthusiasts.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society
