A Whisky Tasting for your Wedding Drinks Reception in Scotland

If you are planning to have your wedding in Scotland there are many incredibly special venues to choose from including beautiful castles, country houses and fantastic hotels. We are often asked to host whisky tasting experiences in lots of different wedding venues all over Scotland.

A whisky tasting is a great way to entertain your wedding guests on the evening before your wedding or even the day after if your guests are staying for a few days.

Many of our whisky tastings in Scotland take place at pre wedding day drinks receptions especially if guests are travelling from far and wide and are staying at the venue for a few days.

About Distilled Events

We’ve worked in the whisky industry for many years and have been involved in every aspect of the Scotch whisky industry. For many years David was Distillery Manager at the largest malt whisky distillery on the West coast of Scotland, the mighty Caol Ila Distillery on the Isle of Islay. He also worked at the iconic Lagavulin Distillery where he worked alongside the Lagavulin Legend, Iain MacArthur himself.

We are totally independent and don’t work for any brands so we can present any whiskies that we, or our clients want. Our tastings are as authentic as can be as well as fun and engaging. If you ask us to host a whisky tasting at your wedding in Scotland you can be sure that we’ll keep your guests entertained.

Exclusive Whisky Tastings in Scotland

Each of our tastings are bespoke and tailored to your requirements. Often our tastings in Scottish castles and country houses are very informal. Typically we will set up in an area in the venue and we’ll engage with guests individually or in small groups throughout the afternoon or evening, talking to them about all things Scotch whisky and serving them with a few drams from around Scotland.

We provide everything needed for the tasting including the glassware and the whiskies. Your whisky tasting will be hosted by David Wood.
