Supported and funded by Durham Students' UnionDUWAS aims to bring together people from all backgrounds to discuss, compare but mostly to enjoy the wide world of Whiskies. As a Society we endeavour to increase your knowledge of Whisky, whilst providing a fun sociable atmosphere throughout. We meet formally for three tasting sessions per term in Durham, and aim to run other events throughout the year, such as trips to distilleries.
