Christmas Tasting
Christmas is often depicted as happening in front of roaring open fires, with tables pilled high, and with bellies full of treats. It is also a time for giving, and while we at CUWAS can’t give you everything, we can give you some whisky samples that ooze Christmas cakes and roaring peat fires.
Friday 4th December
This tasting is about whiskies that smell and taste like Christmas. Typically sherried, whether peated or not, they evoke memories of heavy fruit sponges and bring a warmth to your belly. A virtual gathering to bring us all together at the end of a term like no other, and a year like no other. Gather your friends, bring your ugly jumpers, share some mince pies, dried fruits or chocolate while we sample and discuss.
Ticket sales are open early as we are trying to cater to a bigger audience than we have done so far. Member discounts apply using the password you’ve been sent as the coupon code. Look for the little green tick before you click to buy.
IMPORTANT
Our virtual events can only go ahead if we know in good time how much whisky we need to buy, pour and deliver. If we don’t sell enough tickets to cover costs, refunds may be necessary for some or all purchases. We are limited to delivery within Cambridge. Ticket sales will close on Friday 20th November, two weeks before the event to give us preparation and distribution time. Please buy early to avoid disappointment. Once ticket sales have closed we won’t be able to offer refunds.
Our attendees are primarily students and we plan to use the university’s internal mailing system for distribution of the whisky samples where possible. If this system, or college access, becomes disrupted by developments with COVID, we may have to cancel and refund purchases.
It is essential that you provide us with as much delivery information as possible via the name and college text boxes above the PayPal button. You may arrange with a partner or friend if you don’t have college access yourself and you should use their name in the form if this is the case. If you have no access to a college pigeon-hole, we can arrange for hand delivery within Cambridge using your PayPal payment details. Please do contact us with queries and to confirm addresses/pigeonholes/details for delivery if you’re concerned!
