Barrels at Bowmore Distillery

Whisky Tasting Masterclass

Ever wanted to know why some whiskies taste smoky, others light and floury; while others explode in the mouth and some linger on the palate? With so many malts and expressions out there, it can be a daunting prospect. So, please sit back, dram in hand, and let our resident whisky expert take you on an armchair tour round Scotland. He will introduce you to the different regions, the process by which the various malts are made and explain how to get the very best of the malt in your glass. But this is much more than a taste and smell experience: the story of our national drink will be brought to life, and you will glimpse into the unique world of the Master Blenders as we draw our tale to a close.
