What You’ll Learn:
Learn how to taste and savour spirits like a pro. Understanding the distillation process to picking out subtle flavour notes, you'll leave with a deeper knowledge of what’s in your glass.
We’ll explore how Scotch Whisky is created, the differences between Blended, Single Malt & Single Cask Whiskies and the history that has crafted what we sip today.
By the end, you’ll have the confidence to spot quality Whiskies (and avoid the duds), plus some great stories to share at your next holiday gathering.
The Venue - From Pole Dance to North Pole
In Waverley, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, we’re taking over a pole dance studio to celebrate all things North Pole (rough joke, smoother spirits.) We’ll be transforming it into Santa’s Secret Lair.
With plush Chesterfields, wing-back chairs, a stunning wooden bar, and the fakest fireplace we can find. Like you’ve secured a permanent spot on Santa’s nice list.
