Testimonials
“I’ve been lucky to have Sarah host a half dozen whisky tasting evenings. Every one has been a huge hit, with super impressive flights. Sarah brings extremely well thought out complements of whisky along a given theme, excellent background information and good to-and-fro dialog. Sarah’s knowledge of whisky is extensive, she’s well set up and comes to each event well organised and makes for a fun and informative evening.”
“Within the first 15 minutes of Sarah’s tasting presentation I had already learned more about the origins, locations, and climates of whiskey than in entire other tastings I have attended. Sarah’s knowledge stems from her ‘ground up’ approach. She travels to various distilleries and works hard - literally hands on in some cases - to ensure she truly knows the products she presents. You won’t find a more informed, passionate, or comfortable introduction to whiskey tasting.”
“Whiskey tastings by Good Drams has become an autumn tradition in our home with our friends and family. Last year’s tasting was an epic experience & we can’t wait to see what Sarah has in store for us this year!”
