Welcome

West Coast Whisky Society

The Society was originally formed by a group of friends who had a passion for whisky, brought together to celebrate, educate and partake in the "Water of Life - Uisgea Beatha ... Whisky."

From simple beginnings this group has evolved into a Society that is extremely well known and respected in the whisky industry. Our focus on enjoying the rare and unique in whisky available to the consumer has been leveraged by the relationships made with the icons of the Whisky Industry. We hold Tasting Events throughout the year and most recently these events have been augmented by visiting dignitaries representing their distillery's finest. We have sampled from unique single barrels and are in the process of bottling exclusive renditions for our membership.

Membership has its privileges – from access to some of the finer whiskies of the world, to preferred pricing at quality stores, along with invitations to numerous "special events" such as The Victoria Whisky Festival, Hopscotch, Willow Park's Whisky in the Warehouse and the upcoming CSN Whisky Night...

Together we believe we have made significant contributions to our collective knowledge and understanding of whisky, the industry and it's community.

On the remote Atlantic Isle of Islay a small, privately-owned Scottish distillery produces artisanal Single Malt Whisky as it was in 1881.

The islanders' art of distilling is still connected to its agricultural roots, with organic and heritage barleys grown on selected farms for ultimate individuality. Microchip-free distilling in tall narrow-necked stills followed by island maturation and natural bottling produces a spirit acknowledged as the purest in Scotland. This sophisticated, complex, multi-layered whisky is uniquely Islay-bottled to maximize the creamy texture and long finish - the ideal wine-drinker's dram.

100% Islay From barley to bottle. Savour the flavour.

- Distillery of the Year 2001, 2003 & 2006
- Innovator of the Year 2005, Pioneer of the Year 2007
