This is a fantastic whisky tasting. Tan is so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun. We are from Scotland and love our whisky - but we still learned something! We had a welcome cocktail, 6 drams, and received a great goody bag! But most of all we had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend

A fantastic experience hosted by enthusiastic Tam. I know little about whiskey, despite living so close to Scotland but decided to do this tasting. Great set up above a bar. Tam is a great host and easy to warm too Whiskey is not very big in Malaysia yet and this is a hobby Tam has developed, he was very passionate about the subject . The event started with a cocktail of your choice, we opted for old fashioned, one bourbon one rye. Both very good despite Tam explaining he is no barman We had a presentation, taking through the stages of making whiskey. We were taught how to taste. We then tasted 6 different whiskey's as Tan talked through them , giving us the odd test question which we failed at every time - laughing. We ended with an additional dram of our choice and a small tote gift bag with a coaster and a blindfold ( one of the tastings was blindfolded) All in all a great evening, if you are new to whiskey and want a couple of hours of good fun get this booked.
