What it's like
A host pours a flight of four or five spirits and talks through where each comes from, how it is made and what you are supposed to be tasting. There is usually water and something to eat alongside, and the pours are measured rather than generous.
Some sessions add a distillery tour, and a gin tasting often includes blending your own bottle to take home.
It runs around ninety minutes, sitting down, and it works well for a group that wants a civilised hour before the night rather than another round of pints.

Local tips
Dublin's whiskey tastings sit inside working and heritage distilleries just west of the centre, in Smithfield and along James's Street in the Liberties. Guided tours run from about 45 minutes and finish with a comparative tasting, usually three or four whiskeys. For a group that prefers gin, a 90-minute tasting of three gins runs in a city-centre bar. Everything is 18+, so bring ID. A Saturday afternoon slot works well before dinner.
Local tips
Edinburgh's whisky tastings centre on the Royal Mile. A visitor attraction beside the castle runs a guided tour of about one hour 15 minutes, with a dram, an introduction to the aromas and a tasting glass to keep. A whisky bar just off the Royal Mile, stocking more than 200, hosts groups of four to 12 for a guided tasting of four. Gin tastings of at least four gins run Friday to Sunday, from midday to 7pm, with the venue confirmed about two weeks before. ID is checked. Take this side of the night first.
