NOSE. PALATE. FINISH.

Three simple steps; a world of discovery. The NPF Tasting Rooms offer a relaxed yet contemporary destination to delve deeper into the world of premium spirits. Each regular NPF Tasting Room offers more than 600 rare bottlings and unique expressions of whisky, rum, mezcal and cognac; available as single pours or tasting flights. A handpicked selection of special releases is also made available for sale.

SIP AND DISCOVER

With our expert spirit aficionados on hand, in the NPF Tasting Rooms guests can feel free to ask questions and learn more about the world of premium spirits, embrace your inner ‘spirits geek’ with niche tasting flights, or simply sit back and savour some of the world’s most sought-after spirits.

All pours in the NPF Tasting Rooms are made in 15ml half-measures, allowing visitors to enjoy a wider array of spirits in a single visit, while making rare and expensive bottles both more accessible and affordable.

Traditional copita tasting glasses ensure guests enjoy the full experience of nosing, sipping, and savouring these special spirits.

BEYOND UISGE BEATHA

While whisky is our founding passion, the NPF Tasting rooms also offer a curated collection of unique bottlings from both iconic and boutique producers in the world of rum, mezcal and cognac.

Alongside the array of spirits, in each NPF Tasting Room you’ll find on tap our bespoke craft beer, carefully aged in spirit casks to explore the marriage between malts. Guests can look forward to the likes of locally brewed stout aged in former Islay whisky casks, adding a wonderful layer of peaty character to the beer, or ales aged in Chamarel rum casks from Mauritius. A curated collection of natural wines complying to the ‘Triple A’ protocol is also offered.

THE SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP

The NPF Tasting Rooms operate in partnership with Navigate World Whisky, a ground-breaking spirits importer built on the passion of founder Alex de Ujfalussy. An enthusiastic collector in his private capacity, in late-2020 he founded Navigate World Whisky as a way to share the unique spirits he was discovering with a wider audience. With a dedication to growing the number of spirits enthusiasts in South Africa, in 2022 he launched the NPF Tasting Rooms.

From the first sip to the lengthy finish, the NPF Tasting Rooms offer an adventure in flavour for visitors. But it’s an adventure that doesn’t end when the final drops leave the glass. The NPF Tasting Rooms have a focused retail offering for guests to purchase hand-selected special releases from the extensive Navigate World Whisky portfolio, allowing the journey into spirits to continue at home.
