The guide was very good and informative but whisky just not my thing. We are glad we did this but also glad we did the less expensive one.

Whisky 101

Vivien_O, Jun 2025

I signed up for this experience to gain knowledge of whisky. I was curious how this drink was revered by a swell of enthusiasts worldwide. Chris was a very open-minded and generous tutor. He shared his knowledge of whisky from its base material and the interplay of the factors that make the drink cater to different type of drinkers.
