Ripon Whisky Club is a non-profit club set up to provide the opportunity to explore whiskies by making the costs affordable. Through paying a small membership fee to create a combined pot of finances, we will be able provide tasting evenings and other whisky related events for the club members. Ripon Whisky Club will be a member led organisation where the members choose the activities, tastings an
d the bottles of whisky the club benefits from. We are also committed to supporting local businesses and will always look to use them where possible. A relationship has already been established with a Ripon based drinks supplier who is able to order in almost any bottle of whisky under the Sun! In return for the club’s business they will provide us with discounted rates on all our orders. We have stacks of ideas and there are a great many different opportunities to have fun and learn more about the ‘water of life’. Just a few examples of possible club activities could include:
• Biweekly or monthly gatherings at Ripon venues to sample different whiskies bought by the Ripon Whisky Club
• Whisky and food paring evenings
• Whisky distillery visits
• Blind tastings
• Themed tastings e.g. Islay whiskies, bourbons, blends, Japanese whiskies etc
As a newly formed, member led club nothing is written in stone yet. If you are interested in getting involved, we would love to hear your thoughts on a suitable amount for membership fee, frequency of meetings, best days/dates for meetings, venues and all other club related things. We are initially looking for a dozen or so like minded people to come and join the fun, so if you’re interested in whisky or simply looking to do something a bit different in the Ripon area then please get in touch by commenting or messaging on our page. Cheers ... or Slainte Mhath!
