What our whisky explorers have to say…
Chanie H.
CMO
“Yummy and stimulating.

I’ve learned a lot, tried heaps of great new whiskies and meet fascinating people every time.”

John C.
Director
“Some cracking Islay offerings last night and some great stand-ups by you and your on-hand celeb team.
I also met some interesting people!”
Victoria C.
PhD Candidate
“I love the conversations I get into at The Whisky Social. You come to flirt with the worldly whiskies you would never find and you leave with a new tribe of feisty ambitious types.”
Some of our events
Whisky Heretics
This is a night to celebrate the mad scientists of the whisky world. If everybody stopped when they were told, “You can’t do that.” we wouldn’t have much of the fantastic whisky we do today!
Frisky Whisky
We believe strongly that sharing whisky should be a full-sensory experience. That’s why we sometimes team up with the fantastic Ms. Sophie de Lightful and her talented troupe of cabaret performers. These nights weave a story around five whiskies and five acts that come together to both enrapture as well as educate.
Women in Whisky
This is an evening to raise our glasses to some of the talented, daring and all-around awesome women in the whisky industry, past, present and future. It has never been a man’s world. Both making and drinking whisky brings people from all gender identities together.
All About Islay
If there is one place in this world that is as mythical and important to the history and future of whisky it is Scotland. One place, in particular, sorts out the diehards from the social Scotch sippers: Islay. This is an evening to celebrate everything that makes this place so special.
