How to Run a Spirits Tasting: A Professional Guide

A well-run spirits tasting — whether for staff training, consumer engagement or trade buyer presentations — builds knowledge, drives recommendation confidence and creates memorable experiences.
A Ready-Made Flight from Our Portfolio
Run the flight light to rich:
- A Spirited Union botanical rum — botanical rum entry: aromatic, accessible.
- Bandoeng'22 Pandan Liqueur — a unique liqueur that introduces Asian botanical vocabulary.
- Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin — the benchmark Modern Australian gin.
- ArteNOM 1579 Blanco — pure agave: mineral, clean, terroir.
- La Escondida Blanco Mezcal — smoke and earth: a clear step into mezcal.
- Don Amado Rústico — clay-pot smoke and mineral complexity.
- A rare-agave mezcal for advanced groups — maximum complexity.
Engagement Techniques
Ask questions rather than lecturing — "What does the pandan remind you of?" invites participation. Use comparisons: "Spirited Union is dry and botanical like gin, but with rum's tropical depth." Keep technical detail appropriate to the audience.
Frequently asked questions
- What order should spirits be tasted in?
- Light to rich: aromatic and unaged pours first, then bolder, smokier and aged expressions, so earlier samples don't blunt the palate.
- Can Pineapple Drinks Club run a tasting for our team?
- Yes — staff training and tastings (product knowledge, distillery stories, cocktail workshops) are part of our horeca service.
