Johannesburg’s whisky lovers, and anyone with a taste for something a little spirited, have a reason to celebrate this spring. On Friday, 24 October 2025, Hyde Park Corner hosts the debut of The Spirits Only Show, WhiskyBrother’s newest tasting experience, from 6 pm to 10 pm. Think of it as your invitation to sip, swirl and summon your favourite spirits… literally.

While WhiskyBrother has long been the city’s go-to for whisky, this event opens the doors to the broader world of distilled delights. Guests can sample over 50 premium spirits, including tequila, mezcal, cognac, brandy, gin, rum and liqueurs, all served by passionate producers and brand ambassadors. Tastings are complimentary so that you can wander, discover, and find your favourite potion at your own pace.

“We wanted to create an experience that celebrates the craft and creativity of the spirits world,” says the WhiskyBrother team. “It’s a chance to taste, learn and connect with the stories behind every bottle.”

The global lineup includes Mexican agave spirits like Kah, Rooster Rojo, Los Danzantes, and Alipus mezcal; French classics such as Frapin and Tesseron cognacs; and hidden treasures, including Tariquet Armagnac and Louis Lauriston Calvados. Gin enthusiasts can look forward to Wilderer, Roku, London Dry, Bimber and Hope, while vodka lovers can try Vusa and the bison-grass-infused Zubrowka. 

Even Hyde Park Corner is getting into the spirit: “Events like this add to our dynamic social calendar, and we’re thrilled to welcome WhiskyBrother’s debut show,” says Marketing Spokesperson Sheree McHaffie.

Tickets are R200 per person and can be booked online at whiskybrother.com.
