A Toast to Burns Night - The Macallan Whisky Tasting at THE PIG in the New Forest
THE PIG | Sunday 24 January 2027Join us at our house in the heart of the New Forest as we raise a glass to Burns Night, with a special evening of whisky, PIG bites and a little Scottish spirit.
Hosted by The Macallan in our Green Room, this is a chance to discover a little more about the art of whisky-making and enjoy a guided tasting of four of their exceptional whiskies. From the ingredients and traditional methods to the craftsmanship that goes into every dram, you'll get to explore what makes The Macallan so special.
£95 per person
We'll welcome you with a whisky cocktail on arrival before settling in for a tasting of four whiskies from The Macallan, with a selection of our moreish Piggy Bits to enjoy along the way.
Burns Night is a much-loved Scottish tradition, celebrated each year on 25 January in honour of Robert Burns, Scotland's most famous poet. It's an evening of poetry, good company and raising a glass, and we'll be doing just that as we celebrate his life and legacy with a dram or two of our own. Expect plenty of good whisky, a little Scottish spirit and a lovely evening together. Slàinte!
And if you're not quite ready for the evening to end, why not make a night of it and book a table in our restaurant for dinner?
How your evening will unfold
A little whisky, a little history and plenty to enjoy...
You'll be warmly welcomed into our Green Room, where we'll kick off the evening with a homemade PIG whisky cocktail, Copper Orchard, before settling in for a guided tasting with The Macallan.
You'll discover four of their exceptional whiskies – Macallan 12, 15, 18 and 25 – exploring their individual characters, the craftsmanship behind each expression and what makes them so special.
As the tasting gets underway, we'll bring out a selection of our classic Piggy Bits to enjoy alongside the whisky. We'll round things off at around 8pm, leaving you plenty of time to head into the restaurant for dinner or settle in for another drink by the fire.
