Join us online for our March 2022 Virtual Whisky Tasting on Zoom, with our guest host Andrew Torrance, founder and co-owner of Pendulum Spirits' Fable Whisky!
Andrew is an industry veteran and launched Fable with the Pendulum team at the beginning of 2020. Despite the pandemic, Fable has become one of the most exciting new indie bottlers in the last few years, with a string of acclaimed single cask releases representing the chapters of Fable's founding myth: The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay.
So grab a ticket and join us on Zoom as Andrew takes us through the last chapters of Fable's founding myth: The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay, with six single hogshead casks from across Speyside and the Highlands.

Andrew Torrance has spent over 25 years in the whisky industry, starting at Morrison Bowmore in the mid-1990s with many years specialising in Travel Retail for Beam Suntory and William Grants. Later, Andrew had stints as Managing Director of The Whisky Shop and Copper Dog Whisky before setting up Pendulum Spirits with a group of former colleagues in 2020 and creating the marvellous Fable Whisky range.
“What we have tried to do is create a range of whiskies with distilleries that are hard to find, with interesting age profiles. We purchase great quality casks from the Scotch whisky industry for Fable and match quality liquids with strong visual appeal and storytelling.”
So, as a whisky novice, I took great delight at the prospect of the tasting experience hosted by Whisky Online. The tasting set arrived through the post and a Zoom call enabled Andrew Torrance from Fable to tell us about his background in the industry, the Fable range and the unique branding associated with the range. The drams were excellent, with no suggestion in the flavour profile of the 50+% alcoholic content, I expected a degree of alcohol sharpness or burn, but there was none. Water was only required in single drop quantities to open the drams up. The Zoom meeting allowed participants to ask questions and raise comments and we had a great conversation about Islay amongst other topics. I also found out about whisky 'legs', which were explained to me a few days later.
If you are new to fine whisky, and want to learn about the subject, in a relaxed, informal setting, events like these are fantastic. If you want to taste something new and feel that committing the cost of a whole bottle is a potential risk, then for £25 you get an excellent value for money opportunity with several drams to try. The final positive point was a purchase price reduction on any bottle that was included in the tasting, an opportunity that I put to good use.
