One of our favourite tastings is back this year, with our Fine & Fortified event, a journey across 5 whiskies aged or finished in a fortified wine cask, alongside an example of each of the fortified wines used.
This will be a fortifying evening to discuss the magic of maturation and learning about the contribution the previous occupant makes on the whisky as it ages. It will also demonstrate what flavours and character don't necessarily come directly from the wine cask influence.
This tasting includes a light supper, please notify us of any dietary requirements.
Whisky tastings & events
Our tastings vary from distillery focused evening, food pairings, vintage selections, world whiskies and many more. These are fun, educational and social events where everyone is welcome.
Christchurch is our home, so the majority of events are based here, however we are often out on the road around the country, sometimes with special guests from Scotland and further afield.
