A Whisk(e)y Duel with Style, Excitement, and Fine Aromas
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Paddy's Irish Pub in Bochum will become the meeting point for connoisseurs, the curious, and true Whisk(e)y fans. In the Whisk(e)y-Derby: Japan vs. Scotland, two great spirits cultures will face off in a blind tasting – featuring six high-quality bottlings, three duels, and plenty of conversation starters.
Blind Tasting with Character
Here, the label does not decide, but rather the nose, palate, and feeling. In three comparison rounds, a Japanese and a Scottish Whisk(e)y will compete against each other. After each duel, votes will be cast, and then the bottlings will be revealed along with background stories and special features. This mix of excitement, expertise, and enjoyment makes the event experience so special.
An Evening for Beginners and Experts
Leading the tasting is Sebastian Büssing, also known as The Spirits Alchemist. As the organizer of the Whisky & More fair, Brand Ambassador, and spirits expert, he brings the necessary expertise to convey even complex aromas in an understandable and entertaining way. The format thus appeals to both curious beginners and experienced Whisk(e)y fans.
Atmosphere in the Irish Pub
The venue perfectly matches the theme: dark wood, cozy pub atmosphere, and an environment that invites tasting, comparing, and discussing. Water, bread, and a hearty soup will be provided during the break – just the culinary accompaniment that rounds off a successful tasting. Those looking for an authentic event experience will find the right mix of enjoyment and conviviality here.
What Visitors Can Expect
The Whisk(e)y-Derby offers a compact, enjoyable afternoon with clear dramaturgy, exciting aromas, and a strong target audience appeal for spirits enthusiasts. The event is designed to last about 2.5 hours, seating is limited, and demand is likely to be high. Anyone who wants to experience this comparative tasting live should secure their tickets early.
Conclusion: The Whisk(e)y-Derby: Japan vs. Scotland promises a stylish afternoon full of flavor, knowledge, and surprises. An intense tasting atmosphere is created at Paddy's Irish Pub, best experienced on-site.
