Guests then have the opportunity, at their own pace, to taste each whisky & discuss amongst themselves which flavour is more prominent for each guest.
Finally, once the tasting is completed our expert will discuss with the guests what flavours they liked and didn’t like.
Ending the class with an Old Fashioned Cocktail for each guest.
Class Includes:

Enhance the experience – add a cigar to your class and our knowledgeable staff will also guide you through the cigar basics including cutting, lighting, smoking and storing cigars.
Cigars can be purchased separately on the day – if your guests would like to smoke during the tasting please notify the booking expert at the time of booking.
Duration:
After the 15 to 20 minute intro from expert we recommend another 15 minutes to sip the whiskies and discuss flavours with your group. Once finished the Polly team will serve your old fashioned cocktail, please request when you are ready for them. Overall around 45 minutes for the tasting; but typically guests stay for another drink and lay back. So a 1.5 hour booking is perfect.
