Highly addictive. I started as a total newbie to whiskey tastings last year and was quickly hooked! Now, I never miss a tasting and built a collection of all of my favourites.

There is always a fun atmosphere, getting more fun with each sample… Having guests/representatives from Irish distilleries is also very helpful in getting first-hand information on their whiskeys and history.

Everyone is welcome to express their opinions, no matter how weird (“I can taste umami, led pencil shavings and a hint of white peaches… “)

And finally, I am yet to ask a question that Craig doesn’t know an answer to...

I attended my first ever online Whiskey tasting with the Pot Still in August 2020 as a way to relieve some Lockdown boredom. I enjoyed it so much I have attended every monthly tasting since!

At the start, I was a total whiskey novice and although I still have a long way to go, I have learned a lot about the different types of whiskey and their respective distilling processes. I have even started my own whiskey collection.

The whiskey tastings are a great blend of fun and information. Craig the host not only has an expansive knowledge of everything whiskey but he also creates a fun atmosphere full of interaction between all participants with many of us staying online after tasting for another few drinks and a chat. Highly recommended for a fun way to escape the lockdown blues. (Also must be noted that the sample sizes are very generous 😜)
