Challenge

The project needed to turn a blind whisky tasting format into a clear, easy-to-use digital game.

Solution

A custom game flow was built covering player setup, bottle selection, smell and taste rounds, scoring, results and admin management.

Outcome

The result is a reusable tasting game platform with structured gameplay and expandable catalogue features.

Hidden Cask is a custom blind whisky tasting game designed to make group tastings easier to run and more enjoyable to play.

The system manages player setup, bottle selection, scoring, results and admin tools. It was built as a bespoke web application rather than a generic plugin or off-the-shelf product.
