About this Event
The Cabinet Sessions with Millie Milliken
Join award-winning whisky writer Millie Milliken as she selects five whiskies from her extensive private collection to share with you. With the possibility to try anything from one-off bottles and limited editions, to Millie's favourite everyday drams and some that would break the bank, this is a chance to try some of the world's most exciting whiskies, and learn a little something along the way too.
From distillery stories to production methods, introductions to lesser-known whisky making regions, to Millie's personal connections with the brands, this will be a chance to learn about whisky in a fun and convivial setting. You never know what Millie might unearth from the back of her cabinet...
Time: 4pm-5.30pm
Price: £40pp
What's included: 5 x whiskies and 15% off your bar bill for cocktails in The Natural Philosopher afterwards.

Enter through The MacSmith’s repair shop and you’ll find The Natural Philosopher — a modern speakeasy cocktail bar for the curious, a neighbourhood hideout with low lights, strong drinks, and an unconventional whisky list that never stands still. At the heart of The Natural Philosopher is a curated collection of 24 whiskies — each chosen for its character, craft, and curiosity. When a bottle runs dry, a new expression takes its place.
