We’ve got an amazing line up of funky flavours for this virtual tasting, from a Trinidadian/Jamaican blend that has been smoked using wood chips to a Colombian rum that has used a combo of bourbon, sherry and port casks to mature – YUM!

Join us from the comfort of your own house/ship for our Virtual Rum Tasting! We’ve “researched” 5 tasty rums (pirates and all) and we’ll be talking you through some rum history, how to drink your rum and a bit about each of the companies behind the drinks whilst we all sip on this versatile spirit!
Scotland and whisky go hand in hand, we’ve been making (and of course drinking!) this magical stuff for centuries (and we’re rather good at it too!). We wanted to look back through history at how whisky has evolved since its earliest days and hence The Creation of Whisky Tasting was born!
Gin is now more popular than ever but it’s not always been our tipple of choice. Join us on an exploration of gin’s history in the U.K., from our first encounters with Dutch Jenever to our more recent obsession with syrupy sweet liqueurs….and of course drinking gin whilst doing so!
Scotland makes SO many tasty gins sometimes it’s difficult to see past our botanically rich shores. HOWEVER during this tasting we’re going to do just that and venture out of Scotland to some gin producers further afield. You won’t need a passport, just a comfy seat, a glass and some ice!
Whisk(e)y is a truly international hobby, something we can toast to the world over! With that in mind, we’re going to venture around the world (from the safe confines of your couch) and try a few drams from the ever growing world of international whiskies!
