What to expect
You'll arrive at a tasting room and be seated with around 10–15 other guests. The guide introduces each whisky—oldest first, typically—pouring modest measures into tulip glasses. Between drams, palate cleansers (water, bread) help you reset. The guide talks through the distillery's history, cask types, and tasting notes without being heavy-handed; questions are encouraged. The session moves at a relaxed pace; there's no rush to finish. By the end, you'll understand what separates a 25-year-old sherried malt from a younger bourbon-cask expression.
