Celebrate Sherry Week at The Vaults
Step into The Vaults for an evening that celebrates the rich dialogue between whisky and sherry, presented in collaboration with Port of Leith Distillery. This intimate tasting will be co-hosted by one of our SMWS Ambassadors alongside Ian Stirling, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Port of Leith Distillery.
Alongside his friend Paddy Fletcher, Ian established Scotland’s first vertical distillery, Port of Leith, on Edinburgh’s historic waterfront. His journey from the wine trade to whisky-making has been guided by a passion for experimentation, innovation, and flavour.
Ian and Paddy work in partnership with Bodegas Barón in Spain, using their seasoned casks for whisky maturation, and importing their Manzanilla, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez sherries. These wines are celebrated in their own right, and make perfect companions to whisky.
The evening unfolds with three SMWS whiskies paired with three exceptional Port of Leith sherries, accompanied by a Society supper.
Our hosts will guide you through the journey of flavours, where rich, warming notes meet delicate sherry nuances, and each dram tells its own story.
You’ll experience moments of harmony and surprise on the palate, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the subtle ways whisky and sherry can enhance one another.
