Choosing a Tasting Experience

Across Kingston & the Channel, the group drinks experience is a whisky one, at Overeem Whisky in Huntingfield. Anyone weighing a tasting south of the city is choosing less between localities than deciding whether a weekday distillery tour fits the day.

Where Huntingfield's distillery fits a group plan:

  • It is a single malt whisky experience, not a winery or brewery tasting, so it suits groups keen on spirits.
  • Tours run on weekdays only, in a morning and an afternoon slot, which leans towards team outings over weekend celebrations.
  • A booking holds up to 20, priced From $85 per person.
  • Non-drinkers and designated drivers get take-home tasting packs.
  • Private or corporate events can be curated for groups wanting something of their own.

Fitting a Huntingfield tasting into a Channel day

  • Allow about an hour and a half for the tour itself.
  • Morning sessions start at 10am and afternoon ones at 3pm, so plan lunch on either side.
  • A hired coach or minibus keeps the group together and lets everyone taste.
  • If the date falls outside the listed times, ask whether another slot can be arranged.

What to ask Overeem before booking a group

  • How the private or corporate event format differs from a scheduled tour.
  • Whether a group larger than 20 can be split or hosted separately.
  • What the take-home packs for drivers contain.
  • Whether bottles can be bought on the day, since the cellar door trades on weekdays.
