Join us for an exclusive evening with renowned whisky blender Irene Tan, blender of  Kings Code Whiskey.


As a software coder with an insatiable passion for excellence, Irene is a Level 4 Whisky Sommelier and a private barrel aficionado. She holds certifications from the Edinburgh Whisky Academy and Springbank Whisky School, and is recognized as a respected expert in the industry. She’s traveled the world to handpick fine whiskies from artisanal distilleries, blending each batch of
Kings Code with a unique combination of skill, intuition, and intellectual precision. Irene’s blends cater to everyone from seasoned collectors to newcomers. She masterfully crafts
whiskies that tantalize and captivate. Guided by her acute sense of smell and taste, Irene strives to “decode” the thrill of every sip.
Irene and her collaborator Laura Graham launched Kings Code in 2023 with their first release,

 

Kings Code 1 – Riona (available at the GCB albeit with a hefty price tag). They followed with Kings Code 2 - Touch of Bessie in 2024, and now, Kings Code 3 - Tan’s Fury is set to debut. This special evening offers a chance to taste all three for the first time together.

 

Don’t miss this journey through expertly crafted whiskeys led by Irene herself. Come ready for an unforgettable whiskey experience.

 

ALL ANTENDEES MUST BE MEMBERS OF THE GCB. The event begins at 7pm sharp. Refunds will not be offered for latecomers. 

You can follow Irene on FB or IG @whiskymentors.
