Whisky Tastings

The world of whisky is complex and varied and one of the easiest way to get to know it is to come along to one of our regular whisky tastings. 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. We conduct tastings the length and breath of the country on request, they are targeted at people who have a genuine interest in tasting - if your are organizing/hosting an event and would like to discuss your requirements please do get in touch with us.
Our tastings are incredibly popular so if you do see an event coming up that interest you, it does pay to book up early to avoid disappointment.

UPCOMING TASTINGS
A Touch of Burns...
"Freedom and Whisky gang thegither!"
Truer words were never spoken, so it seems only right that our first tasting of 2021 should be a celebration of the man who penned them, Robert Burns. We will be sampling a range of drams likely enjoyed by the bard from some of his contemporary distilleries as well as something slightly newer...
We will be laying on some classic Scottish scran because it wouldn't be a burns night without haggis!
