Single Cask Tasting

New theme alert! For the first time ever, CUWAS are putting on a tasting that consists exclusively of single cask whiskies, meaning that every bottle is filled with spirit that comes from one individual barrel.

The nature of coopering (barrel making) means that every barrel, or cask, is unique, and this uniqueness then makes its way into the whisky – often with delicious and surprising results. Whisky making is as much an art as it is a science, and nothing demonstrates that quite like single cask whiskies!

Date: Friday 14th February 2025

The English Distillery Tasting

Attending a whisky society in Cambridge might have you feeling far away from the action, but our nearest whisky distillery is only actually about an hour’s drive into Norfolk. The English Distillery was officially opened in 2007 and was the first whisky distillery in England in over 100 years!

For this event we will be joined by Mike Fisher, Sales Director for the distillery. He’ll be showcasing a selection of whiskies to introduce us to the range of styles they have in production. From award-winning sherry casks to surprising smoke bombs, they do it all.

Date: Friday 28th February 2025
Time: 8pm – 11pm
Venue: Main Hall, St Andrews Hall, St Andrews Road, CB4 1DH.

Premium Whisky Tasting

It’s time for one of the society’s most popular annual tastings: the Premium tasting!

For this tasting, the committee selects bottles that are a good deal more expensive than our usual offerings, and you’ll get to try whiskies that are much older or harder to find than the bottles we usually feature.

Ticket prices for this event are slightly higher than for our regular tastings, due to the increased cost of the bottles, but we can assure you this tasting is always well worth the ticket price. Also, it sells out really quickly, so don’t hang around!

Date: Friday 14th March 2025
Time: 8pm – 11pm
Venue: Main Hall, St Andrews Hall, St Andrews Road, CB4 1DH.
