Smoke Without Fear - Untutored Whisky Tasting

Untutored Whisky Tasting · 3 × 20ml

An approachable introduction to smoky whisky — warm, aromatic, and far more inviting than most people expect.

This relaxed hosted tasting is designed for the curious drinker who has always wondered about peated whisky but never quite known where to start. Rather than intensity, the focus is on flavour: gentle smoke, coastal character, and the surprising sweetness that often sits behind it.

There is no masterclass and no pressure. Solera staff will host and pace the experience while you explore each dram and discover how different styles of smoke can range from soft and comforting to bold and expressive.
