Whisky Concierge

Whisky worth the occasion.

I search, locate and acquire rare and unique whisky to mark the occasions that matter. An independent advisory.

Behind the bottle

There is one person behind every recommendation.

I am Joshua Werdiger. I find whisky for people marking something that matters, a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a simcha, a retirement.

That means knowing where the bottle came from, why it is extraordinary, and being there to tell that story when it is handed over. The bottle is the gift. The moment it is given is the point.

More about how I work

What we do

Whisky is personal. Every occasion is different.

  • 01

    Sourcing & Advisory

    Some clients tell me the bottle. Most tell me the moment. Either way, I find it, guiding you to the bottle that truly suits the occasion.

  • 02

    Whisky Experiences

    Whisky experiences built around a flight of exceptional whiskies chosen to match your guests & your occasion. Available for both private & corporate venues.

  • 03

    Collection Building

    For collections meant to make sense as a whole. I help each bottle earn its place, advising on what to add, and how your collection can grow with purpose over time.

How it works

A considered path, from conversation to handover.

  1. A conversation

    I talk. The occasion, the person, what the bottle needs to do. No forms, no script.

  2. Receive a curation

    A shortlist chosen for the occasion, with rare and allocated bottles sourced through private channels.

  3. The handover

    I acquire the bottle and, where it matters, present it properly: provenance, lineage, and why this bottle, on the night. See more →

Who we work with

Four ways people come to us.

  • The Occasion

    A birthday, an anniversary, a simcha, a retirement. Something worth marking properly.

  • The Director

    Loves good whisky, does not have time to become an expert in it.

  • The Hunter

    Always chasing the next release, the next drop, the next rare pour.

  • The Connoisseur

    Knows exactly what they want, and exactly what it is worth.

Buying for a business?

Corporate tastings, client and staff gifting, fundraisers, and whisky programmes for hospitality partners.

Why Whisky Concierge

Individualised by design.

  • Independent Expertise & Trust

    Every recommendation is chosen for quality and suitability, honestly and transparently, from first consultation to final pour.

  • Personalised Curation

    I start with the occasion, not the bottle. Who it is for, what it needs to say, and what will make it memorable.

Bottles, tastings, and evenings worth remembering.

What sets him apart is the genuinely bespoke service: he learns what you're after & comes back with options you'd never find alone. He sourced a vintage from my partner's birth year that made for the most memorable gift.”
