Whisky tasting

Whisky tasting on Friday week 7, every year.

In recent years we have created a new tradition.

On Friday week 7 we organise a big whisky tasting and the tickets are sold from December the year before as a Christmas gift idea.

Every year we have a guest speaker including Mitch Graham from Springbank, Freddy Blak, Nikolaj from Juuls vin og spiritus in Copenhagen, Flemming Gerhardt-Pedersen from Dansk Maltwhisky Akademi, Malcom Waring from Old Pulteney in Scotland, Alex Munch from Stauning Whisky in West Jutland and in 2015 with Miss Whisky from Scotland, Kirstie McCallum. 2016 we had a visit from Brand ambassador, Steward Buchanan from BenRiach Distillery, Speyside Scotland. BenRiach was Icons of Whisky, whisky distiller of the year 2015.

2026 - Kulturloftet, Maltfabrikken

Programme for Friday 13 February 2026 at 19:00

This time we will be joined by Pierre-Marie Bisson, brand ambassador at Compass Box, UK.

Compass Box has made it a speciality to create the best whisky blends where transparency is a matter of honour.

Each bottle has a QR code on it that shows the distillery, age and proportion.

The perfect tasting for the whisky lover and for those who think blended whisky is not whisky.

Compass Box is perhaps the most innovative blender and independent bottler in Scotch whisky today. The company was founded by American John Glaser in 2000, and he ran the business from his own kitchen. Today, Compass Box has its headquarters in London and more than a dozen employees.

The watchword for Compass Box is transparency - something not exactly commonplace in the modern whisky industry. On their website (compassboxwhisky.com) you can access the recipes for virtually all their blends. And if you want to know more, you can usually get an answer by email.

It's this ethos that guides John Glaser as a 'whisky maker', shaking up perceptions of how a blended whisky should be made and taste, and it has meant that Compass Box has often been at odds with the slightly conservative Scotch Whisky Association. The most famous case was the first release of The Spice Tree, which was aged in 'illegal' casks with French oak staves inserted. Compass Box had to change the recipe for The Spice Tree, but they haven't succumbed to the idea of doing what they've always done and continue to experiment and innovate where they can.

See you on Friday week 7. 2027
