In addition to our more established Tastings (formerly Tweet Tastings) partners, which are now hosted on both X, Bluesky and available to follow on Threads, over the past 15 years we’ve always been just as excited to bring you dramfotainment from some of the newer kids on the dramming block, and we’re delighted to be doing so again on August 26th, as we pour and explore the inaugural releases from new independent bottler HIP.

Based in Stirling, HIP recently announced the launch of a new range of approachable, affordable, small-batch, flask-sized releases. The line-up comprises two single malt Scotch whiskies, a single grain Scotch whisky and a Barbados rum, all of which are said to reflect the brands commitment to quality, exploration and accessibility.

To find out more about HIP and to share, sip and savour their first batch of bottled bounty: a 12 Year Old Tomintoul, 13 Year Old Bowmore, 28 Year Old Invergordon and 14 Year Old Foursquare Rum click here to register by emailing your name, address, mobile number, date of birth and your X or Bluesky handle. Please remember to include #DrinkHIP in the subject line of your email.

The closing date for registrations is August 7th. If you’re registering, please make sure you’ll definitely be available on the evening of August 26th to take part!

Even if you’re not selected as one of the tasters, we’d still love you to join us by pouring a dram of your choice and following all the dramfotainment. We look forward to seeing you on X, Bluesky and Threads from 19:00 BST on August 26th via #DrinkHIP

UK participants only. Registration is open to those aged 21 and over!
