What’s on in March?
The word of this evening is: Grain
On Wed 27 March, Bert Bruyneel (Asta Morris) and Mark Watt (Cadenhead’s) will be guiding you through 5 special grain whiskies. Grain whiskies are essential to the creation of Scottish blended whiskies, the backbone of the whisky industry. The majority still goes into the blends, but some independent bottlers have been bottling some exceptional grain whiskies. A great opportunity to explore something different at this whisky tasting!
