Bushmills
Irish whiskey announced as poetry
partner and lead spirit sponsor for new
Evening Standard stories festival in
association with Netflix.
Bushmills Irish Whiskey, the pioneers
of Irish single malt whiskey, from the
world’s oldest licensed whiskey
distillery, have partnered with the
Evening Standard and Netflix to support
the brand-new Stories Festival.
The three-day event will see distinctive
festival programming, established
narrators and fresh voices tell
compelling stories across written word,
audio and screen from 24th-26th
September at London’s Picturehouse.
Bushmills has recently launched the
Singular Tales campaign in partnership
with George the Poet, to toast the
unique tales that make up our lives and
encourage people to reconnect as they
share their own stories, over a bonding
glass of award-winning handcrafted
Single Malt Whiskey.
Bushmills will be serving up bespoke
cocktails for celebrities, participants
and distinguished guests at the Stories
Festival launch party on 23rd September.
The Irish Whiskey brand will then be the
solus spirits sponsor for the dedicated
poetry section on 26th September with a
Single Malt tasting – during the adults
only time. The session will be supported
with a screening of George the Poet’s
new evocative poem inspired by
Bushmills' rich history in storytelling,
craft and sense of community, while
people enjoy their whiskey.
A stellar cast of famous speakers will
also be sharing their musings, from Will
Young on his memoir How to be a Gay Man
to Line of Duty writer, Jed Mercurio on
his latest graphic novel, Sleeper. Other
highlights of the festival include Ed
Balls, former model Jack Guinness and
author Daisy Buchanan. More names to be
announced.
The Singular Tales campaign was born
from Bushmills’ passion for sharing
experiences and stories. Each cask of
Single Malt Whiskey tells its own tale
with remarkable flavours and different
levels of maturation, that are only
bottled when they have reached a
harmonious perfection. Bushmills whiskey
balances artistry and craft informed by
days gone by and the desire to push
boundaries and innovate.
The Evening Standard Stories Festival will take place from
24th-26th September with tickets
available from: www.picturehouses.com/stories
You will also find the current Bushmills
whisky range available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
Amazon
and
Master of Malt
