Membership and Tasting


Membership

The primary benefit of membership is the tasting! We enjoy sharing our favorite whiskies with like-minded individuals, as well as offering unique and privileged access to distillers, bottlers, and other whisky-related activities.

Our frequent tastings are held in private tasting rooms (members’ homes) and space is extremely limited. Members get first right of refusal to these events.

In addition, members have access to the society reserves at members-only Reserves Meetings held throughout the year.

Tastings

The MMWTS holds tasting events every 4-8 weeks.  Tasting themes include:
  • Blind tastings
  • Pairings
  • Tastings by region/distillery
  • Expert guest speakers
  • Other...
The requested contribution for each tasting event is based on the tasting theme and the event host.  Sometimes we'll ask attendees to bring a bottle to share, sometimes we'll ask for a monetary contribution (anywhere between $20-$100 depending on the whisky and food to be purchased.) The MMWTS is not a for-profit organization; all contributions will go toward the finest whiskies and provisions, we promise!
