A standard tasting usually involves six Society drams, but sometimes we like to bring in something new and different. After all, exploring new flavours is at the core of the magic that we perform. The formats of the tastings can vary from time to time, depending on the venues we work with or simply to keep encouraging members to approach whisky with different perspectives and stay curious. Food is always something we try to make available for members, as whiskies can always be enjoyed with cheese or as an accompaniment to a succulent roast. This is also to keep everyone in fine fettle!

We will always mention what to expect in our event descriptions, along with any essential information such as the line-up. Recently, we have been experimenting with a “Vaults Bar” format for a more casual and social experience. The pop-up bar style event features over 18 different whiskies from all flavour profiles along with other spirits and blended malts. Guided by our brand ambassadors, this gives you the chance to choose your dram, share your thoughts with others and choose when and where to go next at your own leisure. As part of the tasting, if any of the whiskies have captured your heart, we try our best to make it possible to purchase and take the bottles home on the evening.
