Are events suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Our events are designed for all levels, from curious newcomers to seasoned enthusiasts.

What is the pricing for events?

We offer accessible pricing to ensure everyone can enjoy our whisky tastings.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, we encourage bringing friends to share the experience! They don't need a ticket if they aren't drinking, but if they want to have their own drams too, they'll just need a ticket of thier own.

How often do you host events?

We host events regularly, so check our events page for the latest schedule and updates.

I would love to come but I need to drive?

Not a problem! We have 'drivers drams' so you can decant the rest of your whisky into small bottles to take away and enjoy at home, without missing out on the wonderful atmosphere of the tasting event. These are available for non-drivers who just want to drink a little less too.

How long does the tasting last?

We gather from 19:00, with first pours at 19:30. The official tasting wraps up around 22:00.

What should I expect at a tasting evening?

When you arrive, look out for the people in the CWC gear - we'll greet you, introduce you to some of the other whisky tasters and get you set up with a Glencairn glass and a tasting sheet. There are helpful cheat sheets on how to taste and score on each table. From there, whilst one of us pours your drams, the other will paint a picture of the whisky you're about to taste, giving interesting facts about the distillery and the whisky itself. There'll be 6 drams to savour.

How do I know if I have a ticket for an event?

We'll let you know when you request tickets that you've been added to the guest list - typically we will send out payment information a week or two before the event. If in doubt - just reach out.
