Revealing the essence of flavour with our Diploma in the Art of Tasting Whisky

Our Diploma in the Art of Tasting Whisky launched last week. This Diploma focuses solely on your olfactory system, how and where flavour develops during the production process and of course the importance of oak and the development of flavour character during maturation. Candidates start the day with interactive activities, all designed to stimulate your olfactory cells and start you on your sensory enlightenment.

2019 courses are on 3rd June, 8th July, 20th Sept and 6th Nov
