An unforgettable experience - We loved the experience, we were three people, one of us is not a whiskey drinker but also did the tasting and has come out delighted. We have learned many things that we were unaware of about its preparation, history and categories of this drink. Thank Maria who made our demonstration enjoyable, entertaining and very interesting.

100% recommended (even if you are not a whiskey consumer) - We did the tasting with Marcos, and the truth, considering that we are not very passionate about whiskey, and I did not have it very easy, I explain everything so well and in detail, that the truth that you start to see whiskey with other eyes! Both the tasting and all the details of the manufacture of this “agua vitae” we really liked! We were delighted with the experience, 100% recommended!
