Whisky Tasting Course: Enjoy the Burns Night Spirit!

Start: 17 January 2010 at 9:30 a.m.
End: 17 January 2010 at 4:30 p.m.
With Barry King

The course will be structured to take in some of the important milestones in the history of whisky.  It will go on to explain the bewildering nomenclature shown on the labels on the bottle of whisky, the various types of whisky, the regions and the influences on taste. 

Barry will explain and demonstrate how to nose and taste whisky in order to identify its various characteristics.  Some time will be spent on helping you to develop your sense of smell and taste.  The manufacturing process will be described, as will the ingredients of whisky and how they influence smell and taste, together with the effect the cask has on whisky during its maturation. 

There will be 5 different whiskies which you will be experiencing.  You will be encouraged to let your senses explore these in order to identify their various characteristics.   Throughout the day, Barry will share with you lots of anecdotes and humorous tales. 

Tasting Notes, together with other informative notes will be provided.   The Course Objective aims to unlock many of the mysteries of this glorious spirit, but above all, to ensure that you have a memorable and enjoyable day.
