The Whisky Set 2024 Launch Party & Art Exhibition

A new year brings fresh new whisky and a new artist! 

In late 2022 we brought you a fresh new project: The Whisky Set. The inaugural set featured four big whiskies each matured in sticky casks, each bottle adorned with artwork by Melbourne Icon, Architect and Artist Peter Davidson, better known for his work as the architect of Melbourne's Federation Square. 

In 2024 we bring you a fresh new artist, a rising star in the Australian contemporary art scene and four whiskies sure to challenge your perception of regionality and cask type, and deliver more truly delicious whisky.

It's our pleasure to invite you to the the launch party and art exhibition of The Whisky Set, Set 2 at No Vacancy Gallery. We'll be announcing and introducing you to our chosen artist for 2024, pouring a preview of the first cask, and most importantly, auctioning Peter Davidson's original artwork produced for bottles one to four of our inaugural The Whisky Set. 

Ticket price includes cocktails on arrival, an exclusive preview tasting of our first cask as well as beer, wine and light snacks provided by Kitty's Pickles.

Dress code is smart/cocktail.
