You may not remember, but we told you so...'watch out, Japanese whisky will be BIG'!

For those of you in person, class will start with some light snacks and an introductory cocktail. We'll then sit for a information packed (and entertaining) presentation. For those of you joining virtually, it is best to enjoy a light meal or snack prior to the start of the tasting. Your tasting kit will arrive 2-3 days prior to the tasting date.
