Educational, entertaining and above all else, TASTY!
At our tastings, you can expect full 25ml measures along with a description of production processes alongside a look into the cultures, traditions and stories surrounding the drinks.
For our Virtual Tastings we send out packs including your 25ml spirit samples, a snack and a placemat (which notes what is in each of your samples, perfect serves and the Zoom meeting details). We also email this information out too all participants (5-7 days before gin, rum and Scottish spirit tastings so you have plenty of time to grab your mixers and garnishes, 2-3 days before whisky tastings).
All tastings are subject to availability and if you are lucky enough to look under 25 years old, please be prepared to show ID!
You can also order these tasting packs as a Self Led Event. This includes an information sheet with suggested serves, tasting tips, our tasting notes and a little about each of the spirits – perfect for an event or a gift for a spirit loving friend! You can purchase a Self Led tasting pack from our Online Shop.
