Er der mon nogen som kan oplyse mig om velegnede natlogi i nærheden af The Lawrence Hall & Conference centre, hvor whiskylive skal afholdes d. 3. og 4. marts?

Jeg har entre-billetter og fly-rejse i orden, men mangler lige natlogiet.
Hvis andre skal fra Billund fredag middag, kan vi gøre følgeskab?

Vi var en flok afsted i år - så hvis du kan acceptere en 10-15 minutters gang kan www.huttons-hotel-london.co.uk/
anbefales.
Det er forholdsvis billigt og ligger Belgrave Road, som igen ligger 7 - 10 minutters gang fra Victoria Station.
Al og MacC boede der til rimelige penge - desværre havde jeg valgt et mindre komfortabelt hotel nær Kings Cross.
Jeg har sidenhen boet på et andet hotel på Belgrave Road, men mener Huttons er et godt valg.

Vi tager til Limburg i april, så WhiskyLive bliver nok ikke aktuelt

Tak for informationen - jeg har booked det. Jeg overvejede BestWestern Corona lidt derfra, da jeg kender nogle som brugte det her i år - men da er prisen ca. det dobbelte.

Så er de første tre Masterclasses blevet offentliggjort på WhiskyLives hjemmeside.

Utrolig flot hjemmeside og en meget flot og detaljeret rapport

Hej Michael,

Godt at høre positiv respons på vores hjemmeside. Formålet er at videreformidle nogle forholdsvis simple smagsnoter på al den forskellige whisky man går og smager, samt hvad der er hot og hvad der "not".
