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.
