A Good Whisky Tasting is About Much More Than What’s in the Glass

Ask someone who’s never been to a whisky tasting what they expect, and they might imagine a room full of unbearable experts over-analysing glasses and debating obscure tasting notes. Decent tasting events are just not like that.

The best whisky tastings are full of conversation, laughter and shared discoveries. They’re communal events where everyone brings something different to the table and no two people experience a dram in quite the same way.

We asked some of our teachers and contributing experts to share a memorable whisky tasting moment. Their stories reveal why these events are about so much more than what’s in the glass.
