Since being founded in December 2004, the Orkney Whisky Club has grown in popularity and now has a membership of some 30 local whisky aficionados.

Meetings are held every 5-6 weeks or so, at various venues in Kirkwall and Stromness, with talks and tastings covering a wide range of whisky-related topics, occasionally involving guest speakers.

Annual subscription is £10.00 per year, with tastings (and any relevant travel expenses) payable on an ad hoc basis on the night: tastings usually cost £5.00 per head.
