For your team
Team building
Team building where everyone learns something and nobody checks the clock.
Programme
How the workshop runs
- 01
How it all started
A short story of distillation, where the name uisce beatha comes from, and the few turning points that got whisky into your glass.
- 02
How to taste
We show you how to nose it, sip it and put words to what is in the glass, and then you practise on all four.
- 03
From grain to glass
From picking the ingredients and fermentation through copper stills to the secrets of oak casks — where everything you taste actually comes from.
- 04
Around the world
Scotland, Ireland, the USA with its bourbon, and Japan: what each one does differently and how to spot it in the glass.
Instead of another pizza in the office, give the team 70 minutes of good stories and four glasses in front of them. We cover how whisky is made, what each big region does differently and how to taste properly — after that the conversation takes care of itself. It works for a team that has never held a glass of whisky, and for the colleagues who already have favourites.
What we pour
- 01Scottish single malt
- 02Irish single pot still
- 03Japanese blend
- 04American whiskey (bourbon)
Those four regions cover nearly every style and flavour in whisky. We come to your office or host you at our place, and we adapt the programme to the size of your team and the space. From 6 people up, with the price set by how many of you there are.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part in the team building?
We run the programme for teams of six people and up. The content and pace are adapted to the size of the group, so tell us the headcount when you enquire.
Do you come to our office, or do we come to you?
Either works. We come to your space with the glassware and everything else, or we host you at our venue. Coming to you needs nothing more than a table and room for everyone to sit.
How much does whisky team building cost?
The price depends on the size of the team and the whiskies chosen, so we quote per enquiry. Send us the headcount and a rough date and we will come back with an offer, usually the same or the next working day.
What is included and how long does it take?
The guided programme runs about 70 minutes and includes a tasting of four whiskies from four different regions, the story of how whisky is made and what separates the regions, plus glassware. An informal get-together follows.
Do colleagues need any whisky knowledge?
No. The programme is educational and starts from zero, so it works the same for a team where nobody drinks whisky and one where somebody already has a favourite bottle.
What about colleagues who do not drink alcohol?
They are welcome without the tasting. The educational part, the regions and the company are the same, and nobody has to finish a sample. Tell us in advance how many are not drinking so we can prepare an alternative.
Is it interactive, or does everyone just sit and drink?
The programme is guided from start to finish. We work through each of the four whiskies together, compare aromas and flavours and score them, and part of the tasting is done blind with the labels hidden. The team argues, guesses, and is usually surprised by the result.
Can you run the programme in English?
Yes. We run it in Croatian or English, which helps for teams with colleagues from abroad.
