Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does our private experience compare to standard whisky tours?
During this experience, you will try single cask whiskies, limited to a few hundred bottles. These whiskies are usually more special, unique and rarer than official, more commercial releases bottled directly by the distillery. Those whiskies are usually widely available, easier to find and have a very consistent flavour profile, batch after batch. In our single cask whisky experience, you will get to try whiskies that are genuinely unique and very hard to find.
Why isn’t the exact venue name listed publicly?
To preserve the private, members-only nature of the club and guarantee an intimate environment for our guests, the exact venue address and entry instructions are shared confidentially via email after booking.
What is the group size requirement?
This experience is strictly private and catered to small groups between 4 and 10 guests to ensure personalised, 5-star service.
What is included in the £165 per person rate?
Your ticket includes private entry to the club, 4 unique Single Cask whiskies (cask strength), 4 custom food pairings (canapés), and 2.5 hours of private host guidance.
