About this Event
Step aside football… this is the World Cup that really matters.
Join Derby Whisky Club for a unique tasting experience where the globe’s finest whisky-producing regions go head-to-head in a knockout tournament. Each dram represents one of the major FIFA federations — and only one can lift the trophy.
The Concept
We’ve selected a standout whisky from each region:
- Europe (UEFA)
- North & Central America (CONCACAF)
- South America (CONMEBOL)
- Asia (AFC)
- Africa (CAF)
- Oceania
You’ll taste them in a series of knockout rounds, comparing each side-by-side and voting for your winner. One progresses, one goes home. Simple.
By the end of the night, we’ll crown the Whisky World Cup Winner
What to Expect
- A guided tasting of 6+ whiskies from across the world
- A fun, interactive knockout format
- Surprising flavours from emerging whisky nations
- A relaxed, social atmosphere with fellow whisky lovers
- The chance to discover something completely unexpected
This isn’t about prestige or price — it’s about flavour, character, and what actually stands up in the glass.
Why This One Matters
Most tastings stay safe — Scotland, Ireland, maybe Japan.
This doesn’t.
You’ll explore whisky from countries you may never have considered, challenge assumptions, and rethink what “great whisky” really means.
Who It’s For
- Whisky enthusiasts looking to try something different
- Curious drinkers wanting to expand their palate
- Anyone who enjoys a bit of competition with their dram
No prior knowledge needed — just bring your taste buds.
Final Word
Six regions. One winner.
You decide who takes the title.
