Virtual whisky tastings allow you to sample different offerings and learn more about the tipple you’re trying, all from the comfort of your own home.

Whether you fancy treating yourself, trying something different for a date night or gifting the experience to a loved one for a special occasion, there are various options to choose from.

Here, we share a little more information about some of the best virtual whisky tasting experiences available. Check them out below.

Each virtual tasting is full of fascinating storytelling and fun facts, always encouraging conversation and laughter.
