Hello Interested Whiskey Enthusiasts...

There are quite a few opportunities to experience whiskey in various upcoming events throughout Switzerland. If you would like to attend some of these events, or merely learn more about whiskey and whiskey styles, then perhaps our upcoming whisky for beginners course on March 19th would be a good chance to start your own whiskey experience.

The Class: We will cover how whiskey is made and explore various styles of whiskey, including bourbon styles from the USA, Irish Whiskey, and all Scottish styles...In all, you will have a chance to sample 12 different styles...all with expert instruction and guidance. At the conclusion of the evening, we will provide a nice sampling of food that goes well with whiskey...

The Cost: CHF 95 per person

Signing-Up: Visit our web site schedule for more information on signing-up for this course. We limit the class to 10 participants, so if you are interested and would like to attend, then we urge you to enroll soon!

Thanks,
Jack

I have informed work that I may be a little less intelligent tomorrow.
Looking forward to it.

Re: Whisky for Beginners - Zürich

It was a lot of fun.
Have just been, well I'd like to say forced but it was a more a gentle prod by my misses, to buy a bottle of Caol Ila, which was her favourite whisky of the night.
I think she may have turned from a non-whisky person into a wanna be connoisseur.

Thanks Jack it was a brilliant evening.

Re: Whisky for Beginners - Zürich

Jack,

let me know if there are any more of these, I'm definetely interested. I'll keep an eye on the website too.

Planthead, Caol Ila is an excellent whisky. Make sure you try the 18 year old as well as the 12 year, it is amazing. I've just bought a special edition of their's finished in Muscatel casks, not opened it yet, will let you know how that is. Yum.

thanks,

Ali.

Re: Whisky for Beginners - Zürich

Hi Silvia, Jack,

Wanted to thank for a really nice evening, nice whiskys and a good meal (that was needed after all the tasting).

Seems like I need to do some more "tasting" - but I think I found my favourites.

Hope to see you soon
Cheers
