FRIENDSHIP

THROUGH WHISKEY

Sample & Taste


Each month we sample a flight of three whiskies. The tastings are curated based on a theme or distillery. It’s a great way to try whiskies without having to buy the whole bottle.

Explore & Learn


Expand your whiskey knowledge through a brief presentation of our featured whiskies during each tasting and discover which drams are your favorites.

Perfect Your Palate


Learn how to score whiskies and to pick out flavors in a no pressure environment. There are no wrong answers. What you taste is what you taste. Group discussion helps expand your palate and descriptions!

OUR Philosophy

Whiskey is meant to be shared

Whiskey is a passion of mine. And ultimately, we’re just a bunch of whiskey geeks who love trying new whiskies and talking about the flavors we find in the glass.

Cedar Glen Whiskey Society takes its name from its regional home base of Cedar Rapids and the Scottish word for “valley.”

I hope that you like what you see here on our website and you reach out to join us for our next blind tasting!

What you can expect


If you “geek out” about whiskey or want to learn to appreciate whiskey more, Cedar Glen Whiskey Society is where you are supposed to be.

3 Featured Samples

Three whiskeys have been carefully curated and the bottles are passed around for everyone to pour.

Education & Theme


Each flight is based on a theme and includes a brief presentation about the whiskies and/or distillery.

Great Discussion

After each whiskey, we each share our notes which is fun for enthusiasts and helpful for the newbies.

The Whiskey Vault


A large collection
of bottles from previous flights that are available for you if you miss a meeting.

Scoring The
Whiskey

Our scores are on a 100-point scale, so it’s a lot like grade-school. We even have a cheat sheet you can use.

Hard To Find Whiskies


We work very hard to source whiskies that are new to the group or not available at our local liquor stores.

Our Best Drams

These are our favorites!
Every year, the scores are compiled and compared against the prices to determine the “best buy” of the year.

Pricing

Our Pricing


Thirty dollars for three drams is a heckuva deal. Many of our whiskies are hard to find and NOT the whiskies you’d find at our local bars.
Feel free to pay using the links provided or simply bring cash to our events.
Our Year-End Event will feature one or two whiskies that double, sometimes triple, our average monthly budget for the flight. Definitely an event that is much anticipated by the members.
