A Sunday afternoon, perfect for a little whisky

Although I don’t ever like to reinforce the stereotype that whisky is an old man’s drink, it does seem like good business to align a tasting with a calendar event celebrating a group in society that is stereotyped as enjoying whisky. And, to avoid getting in trouble for implying that Fathers are all old men, the lineup theme is old and young. Plus, although it’s Father’s Day, everyone is (always) welcome at club tastings!

Five whiskies – young and old distilleries and spirits.

For those keen-eyed followers amongst you: yes, this is the same theme as my Father’s Day (weekend) tasting in Ely. The whiskies will all be different, though the distilleries may not be. Whenever I present a whisky tasting (or 2), I’m always trying to show contrast and allow comparison, so the opportunity provided by 2 synced events, to further explore a distillery, isn’t one I’ll pass up.

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.
