WhiskyBrother Launches Debut ‘The Spirits Only’ Show at Hyde Park Corner
This spring, WhiskyBrother will host The Only Spirits Show, a new tasting event for spirits enthusiasts and curious explorers, at Hyde Park Corner on Friday, 24 October 2025.
Taking place from 6pm to 10pm, this event expands beyond whisky to celebrate the broader world of distilled spirits. Guests can expect to sample over 50 different products, including tequila, mezcal, cognac, brandy, gin, rum and liqueurs, with each exhibitor offering multiple complimentary tastings throughout the evening.
The event offers an intimate setting for those eager to explore new flavours and expand their spirits knowledge. From premium Mexican agave spirits to refined French cognacs and locally crafted gins, the line-up promises variety and discovery.
Hyde Park Corner’s Marketing spokesperson, Sheree McHaffie, says:
“We’re delighted that WhiskyBrother has chosen Hyde Park Corner as the venue for their inaugural spirits show. Events like these add to the dynamic mix of experiences available at the centre, and we’re pleased to see our retailers offering such engaging opportunities for spirits enthusiasts.”
Ticketholders will discover everything from bold Mexican agave spirits (including Kah, Rooster Rojo, Los Danzantes and Cascahuin tequilas plus Alipus mezcal) to refined French expressions from cognac houses Frapin and Tesseron. Lesser-known treasures like Tariquet armagnac and Louis Lauriston calvados share the spotlight with an extensive gin selection featuring Wilderer, Roku, London Dry, Bimber and Hope. Vodka offerings include Vusa and the distinctive bison-grass-infused Zubrowka, and the list keeps growing.
Tastings are complimentary, allowing guests to savour their favourites at leisure.
Tickets are priced at R200 per person and can be purchased online here.
WhiskyBrother hopes this inaugural event will become an annual celebration at Hyde Park Corner, bringing together quality producers and discerning drinkers at one of Johannesburg’s premier lifestyle destinations.
