Inside you there are two Woolfs

Woolf Drinks might not be a name you’ve heard of, but when has that ever stopped us from enjoying a whisky, or 6. The brainchild of founder Seb Woolf, Woolf Drinks pivoted from an industry-focused company with the launch of their Artful Dodger range of independently bottled whiskies in 2018. Using a mix of subtle cask finishes and stellar as-founds, the aim is to get fantastic whiskies into the glasses of everyday folk, rather than letting them sit in collections, untouched.

Speaking of filling glasses, another pivot in 2021 saw the opening of Cut Your Wolf Loose in Brighton, a hybrid whisky bottle shop and bar. The aim was to make modern space for modern whisky drinkers – no stuffy, snooty, sneering. Learning what your customers like helps you source the right whiskies for your shelves, but Woolf Drinks went a step further and launched a second range of independently bottled whiskies under that same Cut Your Wolf Loose name that they can sell and serve in the shop.

We will be sampling from both line-ups, which isn’t something our host for the night, Hugo, normally does. So, not only will it be something new for us, but it’ll be refreshing for Hugo too. Six bottles showing what both brands have to offer, but all guaranteed to get us drinking great whisky that they’ve bottled to get into the hands of people like us, all enjoyed in our own judgement-free safe haven. Hurrah!

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.
