What weβre about
Meetup likes you to be very open and clear about what a group is about: I am trying to start regular whisky tasting events around Cambridge, so I'd like to use this group to collect people interested in learning more about whisky and trying more whiskies.
Initially, I'll be advertising tasting events I am a part of in the city. And meetup will be just one way I do that, so numbers on here might not be representative of actual attendees expected. Once there's a big enough base here, I hope to be able to run events more regularly and possibly start a full whisky club in Cambridge.
So if you want to meet new people and expand your whisky horizons then this is the group for you! Some events will be ticketed, but all are open to everyone (over 18 of course) whether you're a member of this group or not, whether you think you know all you need to about whisky or have never tried it before, whether you're shy and want to listen or the life of a party and want to openly discuss.
For more of a look at the events and my whisky related info check out my Linktree. My insta, my mailing list and a few other things are there.
About me:
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 what they taste and smelling what they smell in whatever way they choose.
I've been hosting whisky tastings in Cambridge for nearly 4 years. Mostly this has been as a part of the Cambridge University Whisky Appreciation Society, but in the last year I have branched out to reach a wider audience to share this wonderful spirit with. After studying in Scotland and continuing to explore the world of whisky in the 7 years since, from Cambridge, I really enjoy sharing what I've learned with others and find that there's always more whisky to try.

Whisky is big business and has been for well over a century, in some cases. While it certainly isn't required, many in the industry are driven by a real passion for sharing their creations with the world. As is often the case, passion like that can't be contained to just one person; growing and maintaining a business becomes a family undertaking, sometimes across many generations.At this tasting, I'll be presenting samples from 6 whiskies where family is an ingredient and heritage is in the blood as well as the bottle.
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.About me:
