A selection of 3 whiskies served blind to free your senses

The flight format returns, and this time I’ll know what they are! There will be 3 full measures of whisky served in front of you at the start of the night, and you won’t find out what they all are until we’ve tried them all and had a think about what they could be. No shortlist this time, but I will give some scattered characteristics to see if you can pair them up with the whiskies on the table.

No smoke this time.

And to provide a bit more of a theme to the selection, I’ve chosen whiskies from independent bottlers. They often release things that a distillery is unable, unwilling or just plain hasn’t thought to (in terms of price and style). Though that’s not to say I’ll be choosing bottles that definitely fit those categories, but it does mean there’s a chance for a bit more variety than the standard distillery releases.

Limited ticket event to ensure a flight-friendly atmosphere.

What is a guided whisky tasting?

All are welcome to attend the event, whether you consider yourself a whisky expert or haven’t explored it at all. The evening will start with an introduction to the event and the first whisky, explaining a bit about why I’ve chosen it. We’ll share some nosing and tasting notes and then I’ll let you enjoy the whisky with your friends and fellow guests. After a short while this process will repeat for each of the remaining whiskies.

I’ll be happy to try and answer any questions about the whiskies, the process of making them and the industry at any point. These events are a great opportunity to try some whisky you probably can’t try in a bar, without buying a whole bottle!

A bit about your host:

My philosophy with whisky is that there’s no wrong way to enjoy it. Neat, with water, with ice, blended, smokey, sweet, from Scotland or Japan or Mexico! Everyone should be able to enjoy tasting and smelling what they taste and smell however they choose.

I’ve been hosting whisky tastings in Cambridge for 5 years. Initially, as a part of the Cambridge University Whisky Appreciation Society where I held a 2 year presidency. Since then, I have branched out to reach a wider audience in the city and the surrounding area as an independent host. After studying in Scotland and continuing to explore the world of whisky in the years since, from Cambridge, I really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others and find that there’s always more whisky to try.
