Do I need to be a whisky expert?
Not at all. Our tastings are designed for curious beginners and seasoned sippers alike.
How do virtual tastings work?

Curated whisky samples, tasting notes, and access to the live guided session.
What if I can’t attend live?
No problem. Most tastings are recorded so you can catch up later.
Where do you ship tasting kits?
We ship where permitted by law. ID and age requirements apply.
What is included in a Whisky Folk subscription tasting and member experience?
A Whisky Folk subscription gives members access to more than just whisky in a glass. Each tasting experience includes a curated selection of whiskies built around a theme—such as region, cask type, or production style—paired with a live, guided virtual tasting led by a knowledgeable host. Members receive tasting notes, background on each whisky, and practical tips on how to nose and taste with confidence. Beyond the tastings, Whisky Folk members gain access to exclusive experiences, including members-only events, educational sessions, early access to limited tastings, and special perks such as merchandise discounts and priority invitations. The focus is on learning, discovery, and community—whether you’re new to whisky or looking to deepen your appreciation.
Can I buy a tasting as a gift?
Yes — tastings and subscriptions make great gifts.
Do you sell whisky merchandise?
Absolutely. Glassware, apparel, and limited-edition Whisky Folk gear.
Do members get perks?
Members enjoy exclusive tastings, early access, and merch discounts.
Can I cancel or pause my subscription?
Yes. Manage your membership anytime.
Is this about learning or just drinking?
Both — but always with a focus on flavour, craft, and community.
