Spot Whiskeys celebrates World Art Day with special menus, masterclasses and art events
In celebration of World Art Day on Tuesday 15th April, Spot Whiskeys is embracing its rich, colourful heritage with a month-long campaign. Throughout April, whiskey enthusiasts will have the chance to enjoy specially crafted Spot Whiskey serves at some of London’s finest restaurants, bars and pubs, including Daffodil Mulligan and The George. For those keen to express their creative side, Spot Whiskey has also teamed up with some of London’s leading art studios for painting and pottery sessions.
Spot Whiskey’s artistic legacy dates back to 1887 when Mitchell & Son began bonding whiskey. With established experience in confectionery, baking, cafes and wine importation, the Mitchells brought their colour legacy to the Dublin Whiskey scene, injecting their eclectic energy into whiskey bonding. They pioneered a distinctive labelling system, marking casks with a daub of paint to indicate the whiskey’s age, a tradition that gave rise to the Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Blue Spot, Red Spot, and, most recently, Gold Spot whiskies.
ART ACTIVITIES
Spot Whiskeys is partnering with some of London’s leading art studios, schools and ceramic ateliers to host a series of events pairing creative flair with Spot Whiskeys cocktails.
On Friday 25th April, Mudgang Victoria’s community-focused pottery studio, invites guests to a ‘BYOB Fun Pottery Friday’, a hand-building workshop where attendees can craft their own mugs, plates, and small sculptures while sipping on Spot Whiskey cocktails. Tickets are priced at £50 and can be purchased here.
Over in Holborn, Pop Up Painting offers the perfect opportunity to channel your inner artist. For £37.99, guests can take part in a step-by-step painting session, recreating the iconic London skyline, all while enjoying a selection of Spot Whiskey cocktails. Tickets can be purchased here.
