❤️ WE TAKE WHISKY TASTING SERIOUSLY - SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO
This time, we’re thinking of rebranding from How To Wine to How To Whisky – because we’re about to do something completely out of the ordinary . We’re hosting a whisky tasting in an outrageously cool barbershop.
Why you need to be there
This is a one-time-only event. Miss it, and you’ll never forgive yourself.
The crowd is going to be legendary. We attract people you won’t meet anywhere else. You (yes, you!) are the highlight of our events, and that’s why we only pour the good stuff.
It’s a bold and beautiful project with an insane venue, an incredible speaker, and top-tier whisky.
Our speaker, Ruchira Neotia, knows whisky like no one else. She’s been in the industry for years, but we’re ready to challenge her with some tough questions!
If you know nothing about whisky this is your chance to change that. If you already know a thing or two – you’ll still want
Early Bird bonus: snag your ticket in time, and you’ll get a 10-year-old Scottish whisky on us. Limited stock, so don’t sleep on this.
