We’re honored to invite you to an unforgettable evening where exceptional whisky meets meaningful impact!

The Water of Life Charity Event returns this June, bringing together a curated whisky-tasting experience in support ofΒ The Life Raft GroupΒ and its mission to improve outcomes for people living with GIST, a rare gastrointestinal cancer.

At the heart of the event is our signature whisky speed-tasting, designed to give you access to a wide range of distinctive pours while deepening your appreciation for the craft and stories behind each one.

Guests may choose to attend both evenings or join us for the main event.

Please note:Β this year’s experience has been thoughtfully expanded to allow more time to enjoy each tasting.
