The artistic duo, Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, are inviting attendees to taste 25, 30 and 50-year-old spirits from the natural contours of the bodies of chosen performers born the same year the liquid was put in a cask.

Bompas & Parr claims the natural heat of the body will raise the temperature of the whisky, showcasing the flavours in a new and extraordinary way.

Each performer will then outline their life story to give perspective to the amount of time each spirit has spent maturing in a cask.

The intimate event is being hosted in line with Issue 05 of food, arts and culture journal The Gourmand, which contains a photographic exploration and extended feature on bodily drinking techniques from across the ages.

Tastings will be hosted at 3pm and 7pm at the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch, London
