Whiskey: A Tasting Course
The perfect accompaniment to your whiskey tasting journey
The best – and most enjoyable – way to find out about whiskies is by drinking them. This truly hands-on handbook takes you on a tasting journey to discover your own personal whiskey style, and helps you to expand your horizons so you can find a world of new whiskies to enjoy.
Through a series of guided at-home tastings, you’ll get familiar with the full spectrum of whiskey aromas and flavours on offer – from the smokey tang of Islay peat to the aromatic scent of Japanese oak. Find out how to engage all your senses to navigate the range of malts, grains and blended whiskies and get to grips with different whiskey styles. Take a tasting tour of the world’s finest makers, including iconic Scottish distilleries and the small-scale artisan producers all over the globe.
And as you become more whisky-confident, you can break out of your whisky comfort zone. Do you love the honeyed sweetness of a Kentucky Bourbon? If so, why not try a smooth malt that’s been aged in ex-Bourbon barrels? Or a creamy, oat-infused Irish craft whiskey?
Guides to whiskey prices and ages will help you to make smart buys. Discover how to pour, store and serve whiskies and match them with foods. Learn to mix cocktails, from a classic whiskey sour to your own signature creation.
With 20 step-by-step whiskey tastings, clear infographics and jargon-busting advice – taste your way to whiskey wisdom.
Wine: A Tasting Course
There are things that us South Africans do well. The list is extensive, but if we were to put it down to three, they would be:
Braai, banter and winning.
All South Africans love throwing something on the braai! It's our heritage. Hell, even vegans like to toss some mushrooms -- or whatever they eat -- onto the flames.
When it comes to top-quality banter, South Africans are first of their class. In fact, many of us start honing our banter in the classroom. And when we start, we can't stop. We're all guilty of long goodbyes - that's one thing we could learn from the Irish.
And then, of course, winning. As if we needed more proof of South African excellence, this weekend showed once again why we're world champs. From the Boks to our man in the octagon, we reminded the world what time it is: our time!
Make sure you know what time it is with our deal today on the Christophe Duchamp Men's Grand Mont Watch.
