    We had a lovely time at Sedgwick Distillery. The spreads, meats and cheeses accompanying the whiskey was lovely and well received by all. I would recommend that they add a few more crackers or bread for all the spreads provided. Also would have liked a bit more explanation on the different whiskeys during the tasting. My husband and I have been to a few tastings and could explain to the others in our group about adding water to break up the oils etc. The venue was well prepared for adverse weather. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We really had a lovely time.

    A truly unique & extremely enjoyable experience! A well orchestrated whiskey & food pairing involving a great deal of clever thought & care. The tour was informative, interesting & educational, without being bombarded with too much information, so kept one interested & engaged. Well done!! We’ll definitely highly recommend.

    Experience was amazing. We loved our tour, the staff were exceptional. Tasting the different whiskeys was so interesting . The pairing was good but the food could benefit for an update to enhance the whiskey.
