“Whisky tasting was a pleasure”
Very relaxed and informative evening. The host shared all his knowledge in a great way and we sampled a range of whiskys to better understand regional characteristics, the effect of storing in different barrels and how to taste. Would definitely return to do another workshop or buy for friends.
