HOLD YOUR OWN TASTING
Having friends over for dinner or holding a party and want to do something different?
Why not get the evening off to a flying start by holding your own whisky tasting? They’re great fun, you don’t need to know anything about whisky, and your guests will be amazed at just how varied and enjoyable whisky can be.
We’ll provide the glasses, the whisky and the talk then leave you to enjoy the rest of your evening. Nothing could be simpler.
Below are just a few of the talks that we can do but we’d be happy to discuss your plans and accommodate any special requests.
The cost is £25 per person for six to 10 people, and £20 per person for groups over 10.
