The Fellowship of Whisky, VYS In a Nutshell

The abbreviation VYS comes from the original Finnish name of our fellowship: Viskin Ystävien Seura. We are a registered association under Finnish law. Our goal is to bring together whisky enthusiasts and anyone interested in whiskies to share their experiences of tastes. We are open to all styles of whisky, as well as all whisky producing regions. Our fellowship operates all over Finland. By organising tastings and other events we activate whisky enthusiasts and bring new experiences. Whisky importers and selected restaurants are our close partners.

What is this thing? Is it only for finnish speakers?

We are a Finland-based friends of whisky association, "Fellowship of Whisky" is our english name. Whisky is to be enjoyed by everybody, regardless of their native language! The hard fact is of course that nearly all of our current members are native Finnish-speakers and therefore nearly all of our tastings and happenings have so far been conducted in Finnish. It certainly helps if you can understand and/or speak a little Finnish since the communal aspect of enjoying whisky is so important. So far, not much of our communication to our members is in English, but this can change in the future.
