Having been to a handful of tastings, I feel that I'm a decently educated novice on contemporary whisky production at this point. This is not one of those tastings, well not just. The malts are excellent, but are significantly enhanced by history, song, and some of the most clever tasting notes I've come across. By the end it feels like a group of friends have gotten together to share their favourite drink, yarns, and tunes. Very much looking forward to the Bourbon and B*tches follow-up :D

This was an incredible evening. It’s an intimate space. I felt like I was hanging out with two super cool and talented friends. Absolutely loved the stories and music. Christine’s voice is hauntingly beautiful and Jane’s descriptions of the whiskey are comedically spot-on. The whole evening was a treat!

What a fabulous evenings entertainment. With Janes, often hysterical, description of the evenings whiskies and Christine's superb music and singing, this has to be the best whisky tasting I have ever been at. Stories of witches and mythical beasts added to the mix made this a fun and informative show.

Took a chance on this show and so glad we did. It was uplifting, joyful and full of myths and fascinating history. It was quite honestly the best whisky tasting event we’ve ever experienced. I can’t rate this show/experience highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whisky & Witches is an enlightening journey into a richer, more diverse whisky culture than we have known before in Scotland and whose true story deserves to be told and championed.
