A good insight into the...

A good insight into the world of whisky, a very passionate and knowledgeable host. You spend a couple of hours upstairs above a bar and sample various types of whisky and learn how the flavours/smell/alcohol etc vary. Not what I planned when I was going to Penang but a fun night, and the host was lovely! If you feel like learning about whisky in Malaysia (ironic I know) then this is an enjoyable evening

Fabulous Masterclass tasting and learning a huge range of Whiskeys

I had an absolutely wonderful masterclass with Llama. The information was detailed and interesting without being too technical, and each of the tasting samples showcased different flavours and syles of whiskey. Llama was friendly and funny, I’d highly recommend this experience for anyone with an interest in Whiskey or to have a ‘different’ experience in Penang.

An incredibly fun and educational experience

My wife and I had and an amazing time not just tasting, but learning how to taste, and test whiskeys that we will carry forward with us the rest of our lives. I couldn’t recommend this experience more.

Excellent whisky tasting in Penang

This is a fantastic whisky tasting. Tan is so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun. We are from Scotland and love our whisky - but we still learned something! We had a welcome cocktail, 6 drams, and received a great goody bag! But most of all we had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!
