THE WORLD’S BIGGEST VIRTUAL WHISKY TASTING

As part of our 40th Anniversary celebrations, we’re attempting to achieve a Guinness World Record for the largest online whisky tasting.

The 45 minute, three dram tasting will be held on Saturday 30 September 2023 at 2pm BST.

As the world’s biggest whisky club, let’s celebrate our 40th Anniversary in style with all of our members around the world getting together for a special tasting that goes beyond borders. It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere.

This is going to be monumental.

We are going to make (record breaking) history. Together.
