The Cabinet Sessions: Whisky Tastings with spirits expert Millie Milliken

Join award-winning whisky writer Millie Milliken as she selects five whiskies from her extensive private collection to share with you.

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.

Millie Milliken is an award-winning whisky writer and a Keeper of the Quaich. With over a decade of experience writing about spirits and cocktails from around the world, she regularly contributes to the likes of The Standard, Club Oenologique, World of Fine Spirits, and more. She published her first book Tequila: A Tasting Course in 2025, and runs regular tastings through her brand Wet Ink, exploring spirits through unusual lenses. She also works for non-profit organisation the OurWhisky Foundation which supports, empowers and recognises women working in whisky.

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.
