Why taste blind? Our approach to tasting spirits
Blind tasting has always been used by judges at awards ceremonies to avoid preconceptions and focus solely on aroma and flavour. It has also become common among wine consumers, allowing individuals and groups to enjoy, explore and, of course, test their knowledge of the wide variety of wines available.
Our at-home tasting collections and blind tasting events bring this concept to spirits enthusiasts and offer fascinating insights into the history and production of selected gins and single malt whiskies.
The only tasting experience designed for sharing and presented as a blind tasting…
Our blind tasting boxes include a blind tasting guide and six information cards with insights into the spirits included. The wax-sealed envelope will reveal the order of the spirits included.
