You’ll begin with a brief introduction to Japanese whisky and how it developed, followed by a guided tasting of five Japanese single malt whiskies selected to highlight different distillery styles. Each whisky is introduced with context on its distillery and character, with time to taste, compare, and ask questions throughout. The session lasts around 90 minutes and takes place in a private indoor space, with light snacks available during the tasting.
