A chance to hear a different perspective

To coincide with Women’s History Month and to celebrate International Women’s Day, our March event is a guided tasting focused on whisky brands founded by women. We’re also delighted to have Georgie Bell hosting and curating the lineup. Having spent the last 15 years learning about, then sharing whisky with the world, from completing her 3-year distilling diploma a year early, to rising through the international ranks of whisky ambassadors across Diageo and Bacardi, to ultimately become the latter’s head of global brand advocacy strategy, Georgie knows whisky. In 2023, with all of that experience, she co-founded an independent bottling company, The Heart Cut, with her husband. Together, they only bottle whiskies from distilleries with which they can form a strong bond: partner distilleries, not cask sources. This dedication to excellent flavour and provenance has earned them 3 years of Best Independent Bottler awards from Icons of Whisky and this year’s Producer of the Year from The Whisky Exchange.

She has picked an international line-up, some The Heart Cut bottlings and some whiskies from her favourite women-led distilleries.

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.
