Second this. Whiskey Wednesday at Julio’s is great. I went nearly every week for 2-3 years straight. They have a very nice tasting room in the basement. They bring in reps from distilleries or just lead the tastings themselves. Julio’s also has several single barrel offerings from different distilleries under their Loch and Key society label. Ryan, the owner, will go to a distillery, taste different barrels and select one to sell as L&K special selection. It sucks that they charge now, it was free when I was going. But if you watch their event calendar and wait for something that interests you, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

It's a hike from Douglas, but Yankee Spirits has free whiskey tastings fairly regularly.

Edit: No big whiskey tastings scheduled, but the one in Norwood has a big event with bottle engraving and a couple different whiskey vendors giving samples.

Even check Total Wines' calendar, located in Shrewsbury.
