This masterclass will explore some of the distillers and producers who have forged their own path to acclaim. The five expressions on highlight the unique stories, visions and philosophies of their producer.
This session will be led by Archie Rose Production Manager Dave Withers, a renowned spirits authority and whisky expert who has led countless masterclasses, spirits trainings, and large-scale tasting events.
Please note that a light dinner will be provided.
- Lark Classic Cask
- Overeem Sherry Cask
