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

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.
