Whisky EDU Study Group - Virtual Tasting

The idea of the group is to obtain hard-to-find bottles. Some are allocated bottles that sell out in minutes or are only offered to high-spending customers. These bottles might be from small distilleries or small Independent Bottlers or too expensive to buy a bottle if you don’t know that you will like it. Occasionally, we will have a bottle that is too expensive to reasonably buy on your own.

Even more important, at the end of the evening, everyone will have a random chance to buy the remainder of each bottle. So you can have it as a prized possession to share with other friends.

We will have whisky from a cross-section of casks (wine, sherry, port, etc). Unpeated and peated. Old and young. Scotch whisky and world whisky. This program is meant for everyone from beginners to advanced whisky drinkers, but we bet that you have not had such consistently good whisky at other online tastings.
