Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this experience available in languages other than English?
Yes! As a bilingual-hosted experience (English & Spanish), we can seamlessly host your private group in either English or Spanish upon request during booking.
How does our private experience compare to standard whisky tours?
During this experience, you’ll taste single-cask, cask-strength whiskies, each limited to just a few hundred bottles. These whiskies are more special, unique, and rarer than official, commercially available releases, which are bottled directly by distilleries and tend to be widely accessible with a consistent flavour profile across batches. In our single cask whisky experience, you’ll have the chance to sample truly unique whiskies not available elsewhere.
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 to ensure 5-star service. It requires a minimum of 4 guests (or £660 minimum spend) and accommodates up to 10 guests.
What is included in the £165 per person rate?
Private venue entry, 4 premium cask-strength Single Cask whiskies, 4 matched gourmet canapés, and 2.5 hours of dedicated host guidance by founder Camilo.
