WHISKY EXPERIENCES

Experience the cask, not just the whisky

House of Five Stills experiences are built around comparison, participation and conversation. Start with the same mature Scotch whisky, follow it through different finishing casks, and discover how dramatically wood can change what is in the glass.

TWO SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES

One whisky, more than one way to explore it

The Divided Cask Series gives us an unusually clear way to demonstrate cask influence: the starting whisky is shared, while the finishing casks take it in different directions.

01

COMPARATIVE TASTING

The Divided Cask Experience

Explore New American Oak, Cognac, Port and Oloroso Sherry side by side, then taste Triple Heather as a fifth pour in a hosted 60-90 minute session built around one simple question: what did the cask change?

  • Four Series 1 finishes tasted comparatively, plus Triple Heather as the fifth pour
  • Guided discussion of aroma, texture, sweetness, spice and oak
  • Suitable for private groups, clubs, corporate clients and members
  • Hosted in person, off-site or online where suitable
