Whisky Society

We are a friendly society, open and welcoming to all, who meet regularly to enjoy whisky - Scotland's national drink - whilst learning about it along the way.

Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact Christy for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!

Whether you are a beginner to whisky, or a fully-fledged whisky geek, we invite everyone and anyone to join us at the HWU Whisky Society!

We offer regular tastings, each with their own unique theme, aimed at giving you a full introduction to whisky, its various types and styles, the tricks of the trade in producing a particular style, as well as venturing outside of Scotland to try international whiskies and other types of spirits. We invite special guest speakers from the industry, so that you can gain an understanding of whisky through their experiences, and this year, we will organise a series of distillery trips, so that you can see Scotch whisky production for yourself!

For only £10 a year, you can become a member of the society and have access to discounted prices on tastings, access to any special members-only tastings (including our two Luxury Tastings), and claim the benefits of our society partnerships with whisky shops, bars and attractions in Edinburgh!

Since 2003, we have got together regularly to pour over whisky, have a good catch-up, but most importantly, enjoy each other's company. This is the most important, and the best part of drinking whisky. We would love to have you as a part of that for this academic year.

Head over to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to get our latest news, or drop us a message or email above if you have any enquiries. Slainte mhath!
