Summerton Highball Revival

For decades it has been one of the most popular ways to enjoy whisky, particularly in Japan, where an entire culture has developed around getting the serve exactly right. Yet despite its popularity, the Highball often receives surprisingly little attention compared to cocktails, neat pours and whisky tastings.

A well-made Highball showcases whisky in a completely different way. Lengthened rather than diluted. Refreshing without masking character. Equally at home in a whisky bar, around a dinner table or in the garden on a warm evening.

Throughout Highball Revival we’ll be exploring some of our favourite serves, from the classic whisky and soda through to recipes featuring citrus, ginger, elderflower and seasonal ingredients. We’ll also be looking at the details that separate a decent Highball from a great one, including glassware, ice, mixers and whisky selection.

Most importantly, we’ll be celebrating a serve that deserves far more recognition than it often receives.

So whether you’re a long-time Highball drinker or simply curious to see what all the fuss is about, pour yourself a glass and join us for the month ahead.

I have been a member for several years. An exceptional whisky every other month. Often uncommon whiskys you wouldn't find and a wide range of types. Usually I have been pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed them. Dan is a creative leader who creates a real feel of community. Thoroughly recommend it.

9th August 2025 / Jim W | Trustpilot

Continue to have an excellent experience. Every two months another full bottle of whisky. How Dan manages to source the quality he does at the excellent price point, I do not know. Definitely recommend anyone with an interest in whisky signs up. Even if your new to the spirit it will widen your horizons far more than a trip to your local supermarket.

8th August 2025 / John | Trustpilot

This club is fantastic! The drams and bottles are always great, a little bit different (in a good way), and sourced from all over the world. The anticipation of the new club bottle is like being a kid on Christmas day all over again!

6th August 2025 / Charles I | trustpilot

Fantastic subscription. Always interesting, great finds that I may not have known about, always delivered to the door with no fuss. Dan has built a great online community, offers great value with club bottle sales and his annual Summerton festival is really great fun. Hats off to Summerton for all they do.

6th August 2025 / Paul Karim | Trustpilot

I have been a member now for about 18 months and I have never been disappointed or dissatisfied, If you like whisky and trying ones that you don't find in supermarkets or even some whisky specialist shops then this is for you. You won't be disappointed either.
