This immersive workshop takes you from grain to glass, revealing how whisky aromas and flavours are shaped through raw materials, fermentation, distillation, and maturation in oak. Production knowledge and sensory tasting are brought together in a hands-on format, allowing insight to develop naturally through experience. Shaped by craft, time, and attention, Spirit Lab offers a focused environment where tasting becomes a tool for understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a carefully structured journey, guests are guided step by step through the foundations of whisky making and tasting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to malt and raw materials, examining how they influence flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA live whisky distillation, demonstrating key production stages in real time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTasting of New Make spirit, learning to recognise its fundamental character before maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical demonstration of cut point technology and its sensory impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparative analysis of whisky samples drawn from different casks, exploring how wood, time, and production choices build depth and tertiary aromas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the session, aromas and flavours are traced back to specific production decisions — helping participants understand not just what they taste, but why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuided Whisky Tasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tasting includes six whiskies from different traditions, selected to highlight stylistic and production differences:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Irish whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Japanese whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Dutch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis structured tasting sharpens sensory awareness while offering a broader perspective on whisky styles worldwide.
