We did a corporate Whisky tasting for around 30 people. Can I just say that it was a wonderful experience and the Whisky Rebellion were superb. Sean was fantastic and has a wealth of knowledge. Presentation and setup was so professional. Well Done and Thank you Sean! Would definitely recommend!

We did the Fight Night whisky tasting. Great service. They were very helpful throughout all the stages, from quoting to setting up and cleaning everything up afterwards. Would definitely recommend doing this for a team building or for a special occasion.

My husband and I were gifted a whisky tasting with The Whisky Rebellion for our 30th Anniversary and what an incredible experience it was! Being a novice whisky drinker, I was a little intimidated at the idea, but Sean immediately put us at ease with his warmth and genuine enthusiasm for his business and the business of whisky! His expertise is second to none, and imparted in such a way that it is relatable, incredibly interesting and retainable! And I will never buy a bottle of whisky again without looking at the label carefully, to glean the oodles of info that is there to find, if you know what to look for. The whiskys were carefully selected to suit our pallets, and after the initial introductory taste, it was fascinating to discern the different flavours and nuances, once guided by Sean as to what to look out for. It was an amazing experience which we will never forget, and will definitely repeat. A fabulous way to experience whisky - get a group of friends over and The Whisky Rebellion will do the rest! Well worth it in every way. I look forward to my next tasting at The Whisky Rebellion, and cant thank my children enough for this great gift, or Sean for this professional, friendly and extremely informative whisky tasting experience.

We have used Sean and Carl three times now at Grindrod Bank. They came highly recommended from one of our clients. Our first function was a Gin tasting & Cocktail evening for 100 clients, the second function a Whisky tasting & Cocktail evening for 100 clients and the third function a staff function for 60 people. On top of this Sean and Carl sourced us really cool Whisky and Gin gifts for our clients and organised the bar rental. We had phenomenal reviews from both our clients and staff every time and Sean and Carl really went out of their way to make our functions unforgettable and very easy to organise. Thank you guys so much for helping me plan great functions. We will most certainly be using them again in the future.

Sean ran an awesome bespoke tasting for a crossover whisky club event which catered to all levels from those who had never been to a tasting before to those who really knew their whisky. He surprised everyone with great value for money whiskies that everyone found a favourite in.The whisky rebellion tastings are always incredibly informative and they never fail to be fun.

What an amazing experience! From the initial correspondence right up to the Hosting / presenting. The service from The Whiskey Rebellion was incredible. Thoroughly professional and a perfect way to see in my Husbands 50s. Thank you to our awesome hostess Kayleigh and the whole team at Whiskey Rebellion.

Very informed and whiskey pedigreed presenters. Great education on whiskey whilst enjoying the joys of the liquor and perhaps matching them with fine chocolates.. I have used them twice for events I managed and both times they were a huge hit and a wonderful resource..

What an amazing experience! We booked the Whisky Tasting for one our Corporate Groups and they absolutely adored every moment of it. It was the buzz of the evening. The presenter was extremely friendly and knew what he was talking about. Very interactive! I will definitely recommend this service to all of my future guests and make use of the service myself in future as well.

Phenomenal service from beginning to end. Prompt and polite responses to queries and a brilliant whisky tasting brimming with useful and interesting information. Sean was accessible and funny. The whisky choices were exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I recommend this service without reservation.

I can honestly say that it was só well done: usually these tastings are stiff and uncomfortable but Sean made us laugh and even got most of us to ask questions of our own. It gives a stunning historical view on gin, and also allows uncultured people (such as myself) to really learn without needing any background knowledge whatsoever. I would definitely recommend their services.

The Whisky Rebellion team do tastings that are filled with energy, great whisky and lots of cool info about what goes into the making of a great dram. They are also flexible and super professional. Just about the best tasting experience you can have. Every time I attend one of their tastings I am reminded just how good they are.

We had a great whiskey tasting experience with Kayleigh from The Whisky Rebellion. Very informative and we got to try the lessor well-known brands usually reserved for the connoisseur 👌🏼 They were really helpful and easy to book with, we’d definitely recommend them and may even plan another tasting soon!

Amazing experience! Sean & Carl hosted a tasting for my husbands birthday- we had the Windows to the World tasting theme and it was perfect. Sean and Carl run a slick, professional operation but make you feel totally at ease and like youve been friends for years. Highly recommended!

Just love working with these guys. They are original and very professional. Even after sitting in on multiple tastings, I have always walked away having learnt something new. They bring fun with their sense of humor and highest quality. I would recommend them for any occasion, whether is a intimate tasting with family or a large corporate group, they are always on target.

Wow- what an incredible experience! We had Devin present to us a Gin tasting, for a bachelorette, and it was everything and so much more than what I expected. Devin was such an entertaining character, and we really learnt so much about the different Gins. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to have some fun, and learn more about gin.Thank you for everything!

Weve had two tastings with Sean and both have been brilliant. The first was a mixed gin and round the world whisky tasting and was phenomenal. The second was a rum tasting and made me rethink my pirate aspirations! The drinks are only a small part of the evening. Sean is incredibly knowledgeable and informative and accommodates everything from crazy people to kids running around looking for parents! Really is worth every cent and is an incredibly enjoyable and memorable evening. Cant wait for our tequila event scheduled for December!

Using whisky rebellion was a great way to kick start my friend’s bachelorette party! They are a great company and made everything so easy. Saralee was extremely efficient and a great help with organizing the event. Rachel, who did our Gin tasting was great fun and very knowledgeable about not just the gins she brought along for the tasting, but on many more products. I would definitely recommend using whisky rebellion for your next event!

A Really AWESOME way to cap off a Bachelor Party - day event. Devin our designated whisky expert from Whisky Rebellion had to travel to the East Rand (actually so Far East, we should have done the Mystic Dragon - Oriental Whisky Tasting option).Without doubt, a really fun and extra memorable experience. The Team at Whiskey Rebellion were very professional, knowledgeable & friendly right from our 1st contact when planning the event.Devin took us through our Scottish Singles Whisky Tasting and passionately entertained our Bachelor party, while always keeping matters interactive & fun. He was more than happy to expand on multiple questions while deliberately maintaining a discussion that didn’t get too complex or involved to loose our novice attention spans and palates. As we learnt, the fine balance between the Art & Science of Whisky distilling, can get extremely complicated. However if ever required from a group, Devin could easily engage & discuss in-depth subtleties with industry experts.We on the other hand, just wanted to have fun & enjoy some Fine Whisky and were still getting to grips with the ABCs such as why there’s sometimes an E in Whisky and if adding ice to expensive whiskies is acceptable when visiting your boss for a braai.We will highly recommend their Team to anyone planning a similar tasting event, as the 5 out of 5 Rating from all of those who joined us for the tasting on the day, will attest to.CheersBrad
