All But Drams specializes in the experiential side of whisky. That’s events, bars, tours and more. Our goal is to provide independent reviews that help you know whether an event is is worth your time, matches your tastes and is going to be a fun experience. Our reviews take both experienced samplers and complete novices into account.

What factors into an All But Drams review?

• Variety
• Food, included or otherwise
• Responsibility (water availability, spittoons, rest areas, etc)
• On site shop service if a purchase is made
