How does a Virtual Whiskey Tasting work?
-
Booking Process:
First off, decide whether you want to go for a private or public session. Our private sessions are a great option for groups of 6 or more, whilst groups of 5 or less are a great fit for our public sessions which run fortnightly.
-
Delivery:
Once you've made your booking we'll get to work. Your box, containing everything each guest will need for the tasting, including the premium spirits, glassware and a stirrer to help chill down their welcome drink, will arrive in the days leading up to the session. The pack also includes an annotated tasting mat that outlines all the spirits you’ll be playing with, as well as guidance on how to set up and what to prepare in advance so that everyone has the same set up in front of them on the day.
-
For Starters:
On the day of your tasting, you will receive a link via email from your chosen video conferencing software. Once everyone has logged in, enjoy a complimentary whisk(e)y-based cocktail whilst your class instructor outlines the entertaining and rich history of whisk(e)y around the globe and how it became one of the world’s favourite spirits. Simply pour over ice and stir down to your taste using the stirrer we provide in your pack.

Get a Taste:
Your expert host will then guide through a range of five very different whiskies, carefully handpicked by our resident whiskey experts, and will teach you how to pick up and identify variations in their classic flavour profiles.
-
To Finish:
We will always conceal a sixth ‘mystery’ spirit and, in order to ignite some healthy group discussion, we will ask guests to taste it and, based off its telltale characteristics, tell us what style the liquid represents and even what region they think it was produced in. This is a great way to bring everyone together at the end of the hour-and-a-half tasting, as well as to test and share people’s newfound knowledge. It’s also a good chance for us to throw out some cool prizes if your host is suitably impressed.
Virtual Rum Tasting
Discover the wild and colourful history of rum and sample a carefully chosen selection of the incredibly diverse spirit on one of our 100% interactive virtual rum tastings. The story of rum is rife with corruption, debauchery and piracy on the high seas – and – by sampling a selection of six of our favourites – you’ll learn that the variety of flavours to enjoy is just as rich.
