Hands-on whisky tasting workshop teaching how to taste whisky, with guided pours of bourbon and rye.

**Whisky, Explained: A Tasting Workshop for Gay Men** **Learn how to taste whisky, understand what you’re drinking and work out what you actually like.** Join us at **Lowcountry** for a hands-on whisky workshop and tasting, designed to take some of the mystery out of whisky – without any of the snobbery. **WHAT TO EXPECT** Led by one of Lowcountry’s whisky experts, you’ll be guided through **5–6 carefully selected 15ml pours** of bourbon and rye, including some rare and harder-to-find bottles. You’ll learn **how to properly taste whisky**, what to look for in the colour, aroma and flavour, why different whiskies taste the way they do, and the key differences between bourbon and rye. You’ll also pick up some genuinely useful tips on choosing bottles, ordering whisky and figuring out which styles you actually enjoy. And don’t worry if you know absolutely nothing about whisky – **that’s kind of the point.** No previous knowledge needed and no intimidating whisky chat. **WHO IS IT FOR?** Gay men who want to learn more about whisky, drink some brilliant bottles and meet new people while doing it. **Complete beginner? Perfect. Already know your bourbon from your rye?
