Whisky and Chocolate Tastings

Whisky and Chocolate Pairings for your Private Party or Corporate Event

If you are looking for something completely different for your special party or corporate event a whisky and chocolate tasting is the perfect addition to entertain your guests.

Wherever you are in the UK, or even further afield, at home, at the office or at your venue or conference, we’ll come to you.

Whisky and Chocolate Pairings with Handmade Chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier

Pairing great single malts with beautiful handmade chocolates is a fantastic way of introducing people who haven’t yet began their Scotch whisky journey.

This tasting works really well where guests within the party are a mixture of guests who already seasoned whisky enthusiasts but also for those who haven’t experienced the amber nectar before.

Whisky and Chocolate Pairing

During these very special tastings we serve classic single malt whiskies with beautiful handmade chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier in Pitlochry in the Scottish Highlands. These chocolates have been specially prepared to pair perfectly with specific single malt whiskies.

A sit down tutored tasting usually lasts around 90 minutes to 2 hours but we can tailor it to work with the timings of your event. We can also offer this tasting on a very informal basis and works well as an add on to your event whether it be at a drinks reception or on a conference stand. It is a great way to engage with and entertain your clients whilst they network.

We provide everything needed for the whisky and chocolate tasting including:

  • Whisky industry expert as host
  • Range of single malt Scotch whiskies
  • Chocolates to pair with each whisky
  • All glassware
  • Still spring water if required

Whisky Tasting Experiences in London

Whisky experience in London

Distilled Events hosts whisky tasting events in London and the surrounding areas. We design our whisky experiences around the individual requirements of each and every client, so it perfectly reflects their wishes. No matter what the function, whether you are staging a corporate event, a meeting or a conference, our whisky experience in London is the perfect way to entertain your guests or delegates. We make sure your event is one to remember by enticing people into the world of single malt whisky, imparting knowledge while ensuring guests feel part of an authentic experience.

If you want your event to last long in the memory of your guests or delegates, call David Wood on 07875 405980 or click here to contact Distilled Events. We would love to hear about your event and discuss how a whisky experience in London can make your event stand out from the crowd.

Scotch Whisky – a success story

According to the Scotch Whisky Association, 44 bottles of Scotch whisky are exported every second to markets worldwide, totalling 1.3 billion annually. In 2021, Scotch whisky amounted to 22% of all UK food and drink exports, worth £4.5 billion to the economy. This has grown even more since the pandemic bounce-back, with exports worth a massive £6.2 billion in 2022.

This renaissance of interest in scotch whisky has been created by imaginative advertising to appeal to a younger demographic. It has blazed a trail for other spirits to follow – firstly gin, and now rum. This renewed fascination has led to a thirst for knowledge about where and how Scotch whisky is made and an appreciation of the complexity of flavours within. It is our pleasure at Distilled Events to entertain, delight and even educate your guests or delegates through our exclusive whisky experience in London.

Why choose Distilled Events for your whisky tasting in London?

The answer to this question is simple. We are like no other whisky experience in London that you may have been to. What makes Distilled Events so exclusive, is that our host, David Wood, is not a salesman for any whisky brand or an ex mixologist! He is completely independent and therefore not affiliated to a particular brand. He only serves whiskies that he loves to your guest or delegates, single malts he is passionate about. He relates how they have been distilled and matured, drawing people into their individual stories, inviting them to taste those stories for themselves.

David has worked in the whisky industry for almost 30 years. He knows whisky inside out, building his extensive knowledge from working at the ‘coal face’ of iconic distilleries along the West cost of Scotland, including time as a distillery manager  at the famous Caol Ila Distillery on the remote Isle of Islay in the Hebrides. He has also bottled and retailed his own single malt whiskies. But his speciality is to bring his enjoyment to others. David excels at sharing his passion for single malt whisky, bringing a little bit of Scotland to London. Your guests will find our exclusive whisky tasting events entertaining, engaging, enjoyable and above all, authentic.

What to expect from a Distilled Events whisky experience in London?

We will create a bespoke malt whisky tasting, serving whiskies that we love, whiskies that speak about where they were distilled and matured. Our events are created individually for you, so if you have a preference about which malt whiskies you would like us to feature, we are happy to do so.

·         We liaise with you and the venue throughout the process to ensure that we deliver the perfect whisky experience for your event.

·         We provide all glassware for the whisky tasting, so this is one thing you can cross off your list!

·         We will hand-pick a selection of quality single malt whiskies from across Scotland, guaranteed to delight people attending your event.

Our host David is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at delivering the perfect whisky tasting event to both experienced and novice tasters and his passion for malt whisky is infectious! Your guests will sample a dram of our hand-picked selection of single malt whiskies while David takes them through his tasting notes. He will also explain a little about each distillery and the beauty of its surroundings, bringing a little piece of Scotland to your whisky experience in London.

We can also make our whisky tasting events extra special by offering a delicious optional extra! At your request, we can pair specially selected malt whiskies with mouth-watering handmade chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier, Iain Burnett. A Master Chocolatier, Iain and his team create a range of delectable Velvet Truffles® for Michelin starred chefs and VIP gifts throughout the world, from his base in Grandtully near Pitlochry in the Scottish Highlands.
