The House of Malt tasting evenings are a luxury event of nosing, tasting and evaluating different malts, spirits and wines from across the globe. Our meticulously curated tastings offer an exquisite journey through the finest spirits and wines, perfect for connoisseurs and newcomers alike. Delight in the nuanced complexities of Scotch Whisky, explore the diverse profiles of World Whisky, savour the rich depths of Rum, and indulge in the elegance of premium Wine and Champagne.
How does a tasting evening work?
Well, fellow whisky lover – the good news is that our tasting events are organised almost monthly! Once you have reserved your tickets for the evening- if its an in-store event, simply turn up and enjoy.
Online event? We will ship out the tasting samples so that they arrive in good time for the tasting and provide you the event log-in details .
The evening itself is usually hosted by a distillery ambassador with a member of the House of Malt team as co-host. It is an opportunity to learn more about different styles of whisky you might like but not have the chance to otherwise try and also and what to look out for when tasting a good whisky (plus plenty of laughs along the way!).

In the event of cancellation on our part, we will contact you and offer a place for an upcoming event or a full refund. Attendees must be over the age of 18 on the date of the event.
