How to Run a Spirits Tasting: A Professional Guide

A rum tasting glass

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.
