Distillery seeks licence extension to host whisky tasting sessions

Lerwick Distillery has applied for a licence extension to host whisky tasting sessions.

The application, which will be heard at Monday’s licensing committee, says the extension would enable the distillery to offer “closed door, personal, premium sessions”.

It is envisaged one or two would be held each week.

The distillery’s licence currently permits it to sell alcohol for consumption on site between 11am and 7pm and off sales from 10am.

The application seeks to extend both times until 9pm.
