Varejes said the main aim of the event is to introduce discerning whisky and gin lovers to a new varieties and teachings about their favourite drinks, and potential favourites.
"The Whisky and Gin Live celebration is different for the fact that it has been around for so many years, and has a loyal and passionate following with the understanding that we are linked to an international company called Whisky Live that allows whiskies that we do not get in South Africa to come through, and also get us international feedback and information that otherwise would not be available. So in essence allowing for feedback knowledge and accessibility to great whiskies,'' he said.
