Sherry has long been associated with Christmas as an indulgent tipple, especially for one’s grandmother! So we will finish on a festive note of 6 TOTAL🎄☃️
Sherry barrels are often used to age/finish whisky. In this way we get some of best expressions (disclaimer: this is not a statement of fact nor the opinion of the CUWAS Committee 😉). There are also many forms of sherry which impart different characteristics into the final product………..
Note, we will NOT be attempting to pour whisky the way the professional sherry sommelier is above!

Important Information
Refund requests must be made more than 48 hours in advance of the tasting to be guaranteed. Any requests made with less notice will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Buying your ticket early helps us plan for the right numbers and reduces the chance of us having to cancel. If we have to cancel or reduce the scale of an event, due to ticket-sale forecasting, we may have to refund some or all tickets.
If you want to enjoy the International Whisky tasting set (again) as your personal Yuletide treat OR perhaps as a gift pack for friends or family, we are offering 20mL sample bottles of the set to be collected at the Very Sherry Christmas event (on Friday 28/11/2025):
