Since lockdown commenced in the UK, we have managed to alter how we deliver our whisky and gin tastings to be able to cater for more people in places in more engaging ways through private – and public – virtual whisky and gin tastings on Zoom. 

These have turned into something we not only love doing but something that has managed to engage so many more people than we otherwise would be able to with traditional offline tastings – especially as through the comments function we are able to answer questions even if people are not comfortable asking them out loud meaning everyone can have their say on the conversation and have their burning whisky / gin questions answered as we go through. 

Why not book a virtual whisky tasting or virtual gin tasting for:
Virtual company Christmas parties
Virtual birthday parties
Virtual company social events
Virtual team building 
Virtual client engagement
Virtual corporate entertainment
Virtual stag or virtual hen parties
And any other reason for a great night in…

They are hosted in an informal way with everyone invited to ask questions, talk about their flavour notes and generally talk about whisky. 

Typically, depending on the tasting and how talkative people are, the virtual tastings last between 60 and 90 minutes, and occasionally longer! 

We can create packages to suit all needs
5 x 25ml whiskies, all limited edition and only available from us
4 x 25ml whiskies & 1 x 200ml bottle of one of our limited edition whiskies 
4 x 25ml whiskies & 1 x 500ml bottle of one of our limited edition whiskies
* please note that package availability changes depending on stock levels

Then we have optional extras too; a Glencairn official whisky glass, pipettes, signed copies of my book The GreatDrams of Scotland for each participant.

For virtual gin tastings we typically use a variety of different gins, and rotate them around a lot so there’s always something different (we find people end up booking more than one private gin tasting so we keep it interesting…) and the packs contain 4 x 25ml gins or 4 x 50ml gins and 2 x cans of tonic, these can also have official tasting glasses added too to enhance the experience.

Once the booking has been confirmed, we put together the packs for the individuals taking part and send them out recorded delivery as far ahead of the tasting as we can (to give the post service the best chance to get it there on time) and then the Zoom details are circulated to either the participants directly or to the organiser to forward on – whichever is preferred. Then we simply get on Zoom and have a great night in !
