Frequently Asked Questions
What are shipping times?
We have a 1 - 2 day handling time, and use DPD Next Day service for reliable shipping. For birthday gifts and boxes or bottles for events, select date of delivery at checkout.
We will provide a tracking link for your parcel, in the unlikely event the shipment is lost during transit we will send replacement or a full refund.
What are the themed single malt whisky collections?
We have launched a range of whisky tasting kits to best showcase the amazing diversity in single malt whisky. Inspired by our Whisky Club monthly events, our themed collections include Regions of Scotland, Whisky and the Barrel, Luxury Single Malt Whisky & Six Classic Styles of Scotch.
What are the range of gin tasting boxes?
Our regional gin tasting collections aim to showcase diverse and quality craft gins from different areas around the UK. A great way to begin exploring what amazing flavours small-scale distilleries have to offer, our craft gin tasting sets include London Gins, Craft Gins of the Cotswolds, Devon Gins, Yorkshire Gins and South West Specialist.
How many people can join an event?
Our tasting experiences are fully flexible — perfect for small private groups of 6, through to dynamic corporate events with over 100 guests. Each table receives a set of numbered sharing bottles, tasting notes, and a wax-sealed envelope to complete the experience. Our expert hosts introduce the event and circulate between tables, ensuring every group enjoys a personal, guided journey through the spirits. This interactive format creates a fantastic networking opportunity too, as guests work together to identify the six spirits — sparking conversation, laughter, and collaboration.
Can you create a bespoke tasting experience?
Absolutely. We regularly design custom menus and themes, from rare or tailored whisky flights to local gin explorations.
Where are your experiences available?
We are based in the South West of England and the City of London, but offer in-person experiences across the UK.
What is different about Azu Spirits tasting experiences?
We are the only independent company hosting unique blind-tasting experiences and offering gift sets and sharing boxes to be enjoyed at home and among friends. We are not affiliated with a specific distillery so are able to include whichever premium spirits best suit our themed collections. Designed to be engaging, entertaining and just a little educational, our collections include tasting notes and insights into the characteristics of each spirit so you can challenge yourself to recognise their distinctive differences and, ultimately, identify which is which. Then open the wax-sealed envelope for the great reveal!
We offer private tastings and work in collaboration with a variety of venues to set up social events centred around premium flavour. Great for corporate events, you can choose to explore six single malt whiskies, local craft gins or non-alcoholic spirits or, to get everyone involved, we can run tastings side-by-side so guests can choose which spirits they would particularly like to explore.
How much do the tasting experiences cost?
Prices vary depending on the spirits selected, location and number of guests. Starting at just £35 per person for six shots of diverse and premium spirits, we offer everything from classic spirits to luxurious single malts showcasing the finest of Scotch whisky. Email us to see the spirits list and find out more.
Payments for events and private tastings.
When we collaborate with other venues to present tasting events guests book directly with the venue (which will have added its own costs to the overall event price). We will then invoice our partner and require payment within 30 days. For private tastings we ask for a 10% deposit to secure the booking. We will then invoice the organiser, with the balance to be paid at the time of the tasting. Payment can be via Paypal, bank transfer or card.
What are the blind-tasting gift sets and sharing boxes?
Our tasting gift sets and sharing boxes are designed so you can set up the Azu blind tasting at home. Including six information cards that give you insights into each spirit, the blind tasting guide and our wax-sealed envelope for the ‘reveal’, we include six 30ml numbered bottles in our gift sets which are perfect for two to share. Our sharing boxes include six 100ml bottles and include everything you need to set up a unique blind tasting with four to six people.
