Whisky Club of Big Canoe

The Whisky Club of Big Canoe is set to host a unique and engaging event on June 18, 2025, centered around the theme “Sharing Your Whisky Story.” This month's gathering invites members to step beyond the tasting experience, and share their personal moments, memories, and adventures that make whisky more than just a drink. From first sips to rare finds, distillery visits to cherished gifts, each story adds depth and character to our whisky journey.

The event aims to highlight the personal side of whisky appreciation by allowing members to bring a bottle that holds a special place in their hearts. Participants will be encouraged to share why that particular whisky matters—whether it reminds them of a place, a person, or a period in their life. The evening will be a warm blend of storytelling, laughter, learning, and, of course, tasting. This format brings a sense of community and curiosity to the club, fostering new conversations among friends and fellow enthusiasts.

This month’s meeting isn’t just for seasoned collectors or connoisseurs. It is for anyone with a story to tell and a whisky they love. Even those newer to the world of whisky will find inspiration in the experiences of others. Every bottle has a backstory, and every sip holds a memory. This is a chance to deepen our appreciation, not just for the spirit itself, but for the people behind it.

The Whisky Club of Big Canoe continues to be a welcoming space for exploration, education, and camaraderie. Whether your story involves a smoky dram by a campfire or a shared toast at a celebration, we want to hear it. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and reflect on the moments that make whisky meaningful. Come curious, come thirsty, and most importantly, come ready to share your whisky story.

In February, the Whisky Club of Big Canoe hosted an American whiskey tasting event that showcased a diverse selection of whiskies from six states, including standout whiskies from Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri. We enjoyed an immersive experience that highlighted the unique regional characteristics and innovative distilling techniques of each whiskey, sparking engaging conversations among whiskey enthusiasts.

In December 2024, our annual rare whisky tasting and holiday party with over 80 members and guests with a curated selection of 12 exceptional whiskies. The evening was enhanced by amazing food, fine wines, premium cigars, and engaging whisky discussions that celebrated both craftsmanship and camaraderie.

In October 2024, we upheld our annual tradition by visiting Gasthaus Tirol in Cumming to celebrate Oktoberfest with a vibrant German dinner. Over 50 members joined the event, enjoying authentic cuisine and a festive atmosphere that truly captured the spirit of the season.
