2023 FNB Whisky Festival officially launched
FNB Namibia recently launched its annual whisky festival, which will be taking place for the first time in two locations: In Ongwediva on 3 June, and in Windhoek on 10 June.
The festival offers a platform for whisky lovers to participate in a tasting experience to suit their distinctive palates, from the ‘curious’ newcomer to the seasoned connoisseur. Guests will learn how to get the most from every dram as experts guide them through samples from distilleries around the world.
The festival aims to connect spirit drinkers with master distillers and brand ambassadors, allowing them to share their knowledge and passion for excellence, and share in-house stories about the journeys and experiences behind their brands and products.
Speaking at the launch, FNB Namibia executive officer for retail banking, Nangula Kauluma, invited the public to visit the festival either in the north or in Windhoek - or both - to experience the finer things in life this June.
“True to the FNB brand, the two-day festival will be as distinctive and distinguished as the beverages on offer, and as diverse as our customers - from the bold, young adventurous first-timer to the matured connoisseur.
"Come and broaden your horizons, share your stories, try something new and connect with creators of some of the finest spirits around the world. We look forward to seeing you there,” she said.
Guests can expect a range of international brands from smooth Irish whiskeys, Scottish single malts, blends from the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands to the strongly contrasting American whiskeys and bourbons, and the complex flavour profiles of South African whiskeys. There will also be selection of MCCs from the Verve Cliquot and Lournesford wineries to explore.
The FNB Whisky Festival is taking place on 3 June at the Queen Hall at the Ongwediva Trade Fair Centre, and 10 June at the Windhoek Country Club. Tickets are available at Webtickets/Pick ’n Pay for N$250, and for N$300 at the door.
