Whisky Wander was created to fill the educational gap that exists between consumers and whisky distillers. We host and present creative whisky tasting and food paring events in collaboration with Calgary's premiere restaurant establishments and select liquor retail venues.
​
Whisky and its vast variety can be difficult and intimidating to the novice consumer. Whisky Wander can help anyone find a valued expression or appreciate a whisky like never before.
​
Our Certified Whisky Ambassadors have devoted their time to the world of whisky and promoting the responsible consumption of it.
Whisky Wander is not endorsed by any manufacture or importer of any alcoholic beverage. Our opinions are our own.
