How are we going to celebrate St George's Day? With an English whisky tasting, of course! Hopefully this event becomes a yearly tradition, as more distilleries come online and more bottles become available. We can experience first-hand the evolution of the industry. We'll have samples from 6 distilleries for you to try.

Cambridge Whisky Club members get 10% discount on tickets to this event, so sign up now!

What is Cambridge Whisky Club?
Launched in March 2025, it's a rebranding of the events that were being organised around the city under the name of Elliott Drinks Whisky. With the name (and logo) comes an optional membership scheme. When you buy a 1 year membership, you get 10% discount on all the events we host at our HQ at Thirsty and at least 10% off whisky at the bar there too, amongst other things.
The club will likely eventually take over from this group, so do sign up for our mailing list or Instagram if you want to stay connected. To learn more, head to the Cambridge Whisky Club website.

What is a guided whisky tasting?
All are welcome to attend the event, whether you consider yourself a whisky expert or haven’t explored it at all. The evening will start with an introduction to the event and the first whisky, explaining a bit about why I’ve chosen it. We’ll share some nosing and tasting notes and then I’ll let you enjoy the whisky with your friends and fellow guests. After a short while this process will repeat for each of the remaining whiskies.
I’ll be happy to try and answer any questions about the whiskies, the process of making them and the industry at any point. These events are a great opportunity to try some whisky you probably can’t try in a bar, without buying a whole bottle!

A bit about your host:
My philosophy with whisky is that there’s no wrong way to enjoy it. Neat, with water, with ice, blended, smokey, sweet, from Scotland or Japan or Mexico! Everyone should be able to enjoy tasting and smelling what they taste and smell however they choose.
I’ve been hosting whisky tastings in Cambridge for 5 years. Initially, as a part of the Cambridge University Whisky Appreciation Society where I held a 2 year presidency. Since then, I have branched out to reach a wider audience in the city and the surrounding area as an independent host. After studying in Scotland and continuing to explore the world of whisky in the years since, from Cambridge, I really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others and find that there’s always more whisky to try.
