Sharing
Passing on a discovery, listening to another perspective and letting ideas circulate.
Whisky · The art of living · A shared adventure
Whisky brings us together.
Adventure takes us further.
A French-speaking gentlemen’s club and independent bottler
Tasting, learning, travelling and building projects together.
The Guild’s first whisky
Thirty-two names.
One Founders’ Cuvée.
A whisky conceived together with Maison Benjamin Kuentz.
From the first gathering on Rue de Bellechasse to the blind tasting of the blends, the members shaped the direction of this cuvée. Their names appear on each of the 600 bottles.
A first creation, and the beginning of a story that continues.
Meeting people comes first
We come for the whisky.
We stay for the people.
A dram opens the conversation. One encounter leaves you wanting more. At the Guild, the curious and the passionate come together to share what they know, discover what they have yet to learn and bring shared projects to life.
Character matters as much as knowledge. Everyone brings their perspective, skills and desire to build something together, with respect for all.
Our foundations
Four values. One table.
Authenticity
People, craft and encounters. The elegance of true character, without pretence.
Passion
Understanding the craft, following your curiosity and taking the time to learn.
Adventure
Seeking out new places, new stories and all that we can build together.
Faces of an adventure
The Guild tells its story
through images too.
Videos, documentaries and encounters: discover the people and intentions behind the name.
What we are building
Looking further ahead. Together.
Developing the Guild’s bottlings, exploring collective cask projects and growing an independent community.
In the longer term, our vision includes a place to gather and a community distillery. A course to chart, step by step.
Life in the Guild
Taste. Learn. Belong.
Several gatherings each month, an ongoing conversation and projects in which to take part.
Taste together
A monthly box of three 5 cl whiskies, included with membership, plus online tastings to discover the selection and exchange impressions.
Learn without comparison
Our fortnightly Whisky Live video sessions, masterclasses and replays offer a deeper understanding of whisky culture. In French, with conversations open to the curious and the connoisseur alike.
Be part of the adventure
Private spaces for conversation, gatherings, journeys and collective projects. A circle where members also share skills, ideas and opportunities to support one another.
Beyond the dram
Some stories
are best lived.
A conversation in a distillery. A tasting among members. A Scottish landscape discovered together.
Events, masterclasses and journeys bring another dimension to our passion. Programmes and terms of participation are set out for each experience.
Our gatherings
Gather again, soon.

You do not need to have all the answers. A desire to discover, share and contribute is a wonderful place to begin.
