Courses:

Courses are structured to include some
of the more important milestones in the history
of whisky and will 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 include demonstrations and explanations as to how to nose and taste whisky in order to identify its various characteristics. Time will also be spent on helping you to develop your own 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.

You will nose and taste a number of different whiskies, during which time you will be encouraged to let your senses explore and identify their various characteristics. Throughout the course, Barry will share with you the benefit of his experience, together with anecdotes and humorous tales.

Tasting Notes, together with other informative notes will be provided. At the end of the course, you will be invited to take part in a Whisky Quiz – just for the fun of it.

The object of these courses will be to unlock many of the mysteries of this glorious spirit, but above all, to ensure that you have a memorable and enjoyable day.
