Our approach

The Commons exists to do three things well:

(a) Host exceptional tastings;
(b) Access hard-to-find bottles; and
(c) foster fellowship through shared discovery and good humour. 

We meet monthly, and host a growing library of bottles. Presentations draw from literature, cinema, science, geography, culture, or social history—using whisky as both subject and lens. Technical detail is present, but always in service of a broader idea.

Each gathering is an opportunity to learn about whisky and to leave more informed.

Membership

Members participate in the majority of gatherings and contribute actively to discussion; provide input into thematic planning and present at least once annually.

Regular tastings are held on the last Thursday of the month, from 7:00 pm to approximately 9:30 pm.
