Looking to host a social gathering and have a dabble in whisky with your close friends? Or maybe you want to make the beginning to an event memorable such as a pre-dinner party or even give your wedding party a special treat. A Whisky Flight Tasting, to be held at a location of your choice, is a perfect way to share an experience while learning about whisky at the same time. We will guide you on this shared sensory journey by giving you basics on nosing and tasting whisky as well as providing some sensory flights to make the whole thing a bit more fun. You decide if it is to be a traditional Scotch Malt experience, a Bourbon Blowout with the lads or do a World Whisky flight to really expand your horizons. You sort the location and we bring the rest.
Private parties or events, small office get togethers, corporate board room events, poker nights, or even something special for your wedding parties and / or guests of honour.

The location is of your choice be it your home, board room, or private room at your wedding reception. Think outside the box as 3 whiskies in the back of a stretched Hummer can work just as well.

Whisky is an amazing thing to appreciate but getting started can be daunting. This course is an introduction into the dynamically expanding world of whisky. Presented in an interesting and engaging way, we will deliver an in-depth tasting showcase of 20 affordable quality whiskies over 4 set classes. Our aim is to ensure you complete this course with a valued appreciation for whisky, while instilling a self-confidence for selecting or purchasing this spirit.
During the course period we will discuss details from the basics up. We will look at important factors such as nosing and tasting, flavours and profiles, regions and countries, making and maturing the spirit, while developing logical descriptors to help you talk about whisky.
