Based in Sheffield, in the UK, the CWS was founded as a social venture by a group of like-minded friends. we get together every two months, chip-in for a bottle of whisky and drink it together while setting the world to rights.

Typically everyone pays no more than £10 each – which makes for an affordable night out and allows everyone to drink a wider range of more expensive whiskies than they might normally try.

We believe that taste is a personal thing, so a collective score would be meaningless. De gustibus non est disputandum as they say.
