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.
