Welcome to the wonderful world of flavours

Tasting whisky, the Drink of the Gods, is all about tasting the flavours of the whisky and getting into the experience. Each dram (a tasting glass) will be determined first by the basic elements of whisky: colour, nose, body, the whisky palate and the finish.

After this exercise we will experience together the flavours of the spirits in more detail: fruity, floral, spicy and peaty and within these segments there are many sub flavours, about 80 in total.

It's fun to discuss among the participants their own experiences of tasting the whisky and can determine which taste is their favourite. See also the pictures of one of our whisky tastings. We can design for you the perfect line-up of the single malt whisky’s your guests would like to taste.

Whisky Tastings

Whisky Dinners

Having a whisky dinner together with family and friends are one of the nicest things to experience. In cooperation with a quality restaurant or a chef we can design for you a 5 or 6 courses dinner with excellent pairing with the tastes of single malt whisky’s.
