The class was unlike anything I’ve done before. Learnt so much about whiskey that I didn’t know and enjoyed the creativity behind it. Our instructor made the vibes amazing. Will definitely be coming back for the other experiences on offer.

A group of friends and I took the whiskey blending class, led by Michael for a tour of their distillery and the fermentation process. He was enthusiastic, funny and passionate about their operation, as were the still masters who happily shared knowledge. Simon who led the blending was equally passionate and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about regionality and discerning our own preferences in whiskey taste. The evening felt warm, generous and inclusive. I get a sense that there's a great team here and look forward to my next visit.

The brand looked to capitalise on its many international accolades to build a global household presence for Australian based spirits.
