Testimonials
Overall the course was accessible, very interesting. I knew a little, learned a lot, and the teacher was very pleasant to listen to.

All you need to know of the basic 101 in Scotch Whisky. More to introduce the general concept than an in depth dive in to the vast variety of scotch but definitely leaves an appetite for more.

A great deal of time, care and effort has been put into this Intro course... much like Scotch itself! The information was insightful, thorough and easy to digest as well. Think I'll have to do the Certificate now!
