CELEBRATIONS AT BOROUGHBRIDGE MANOR CARE HOME WERE A TOUCH DRAM-ATIC

World Whisky Day invites everyone to try a dram and celebrate the ‘water of life’, taking place annually on the third Saturday in May, this special occasion is celebrated by whisky lovers worldwide.

Whether you’re a die-hard Scots whisky fan, an Irish whisky lover, or you like to mix it up and try something new, World Whisky Day, celebrated this year on May 16th, is the perfect day to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of whisky. It was certainly a day of fun-filled tastings for the staff and residents at Boroughbridge manor care home in Boroughbridge.

To mark the day, residents had so much fun taking part in virtual distillery tours, a whisky based quiz, a whisky tasting masterclass led by a local distiller, finding out about the history of whisky making and enjoying some Scottish shortbread.

Susan Carter, General Manager at Boroughbridge Manor said: “We have all learned so much today about the history of whisky, how it is made and all the different places it is made now, not just in Scotland and Ireland – who knew there was such a thing as Japanese whisky?! Our residents really enjoyed their tasting session and had great fun sampling some whisky-based cocktail recipes.”

Isabella, a resident at Boroughbridge Manor commented: “I love a wee dram of whisky, there really isn’t anything better, especially because I am Scottish! I really enjoyed trying some different blends and mixers, and learning about where the different whiskies came from. I think I will sleep well tonight!”
