Tasting nights for clubs & distilleries
Every glass, a shared verdict.
Sipwell runs the night for you. Guests note what they find on their phones, the TV reveals the room's verdict bottle by bottle, and everyone leaves with a recap of what they tasted.

A tasting night
From the first pour to the last toast.
The host runs everything from a phone. The TV in the room keeps everyone on the same bottle.
Guests arrive and check in
Members open tonight's tasting on their phones and light up on the TV. Guests scan a code and are playing in seconds, with no account to create.
- Who's here, and who's still on the way
- A one-night guest pass that expires by morning
- The evening's program and a countdown to the first pour
Everyone tastes, nobody peeks
For each glass, tasters pick what they find on the nose, palate and finish. The real tasting notes hide among decoys, so it rewards attention rather than guessing.
- Tasting notes prepared for every bottle, real and decoy
- A score out of five, and a quiet "would buy"
- Individual scores stay private; the room sees averages
The room's verdict, bottle by bottle
When the last taster finishes, the TV reveals what the room found, the decoys it fell for, the score and the running ranking. A mezcal sits as comfortably as a single malt.
- Top notes with how many tasters found each
- Would-buy counts and how split the room was
- A live ranking that reshuffles with every pour
A champion, and a bottle of the night
The room votes for its favourite, the notes game crowns a champion, and awards go to the sharpest nose, palate and finish. Everyone gets a recap and a card to share.
- Podium, awards and bottle of the night on the TV
- Personal recaps with each taster's own results
- Share images sized for group chats
Everything around the night
The club runs itself between tastings, too.
Invitations & RSVPs
Going or can't make it, in one tap. Reminders go out the day before and two hours before the first pour.
Lineups in minutes
Add the bottles, arrange them into flights, and the tasting notes for the game are prepared for you to review.
Guests welcome
A one-night pass for friends and visitors. They play the game, appear on the leaderboard, and their access ends the next morning.
Member journeys
Every bottle a member has tasted, what they loved, and when it's pouring again.
Photos on the big screen
Pictures taken during the night go straight onto the TV between pours, then into the recap.
Private by design
Members sign in, guests are limited to one night, and nobody sees anyone else's scores.
