Celebrate Burns Night at WSET School London with a flight of six delicious whiskies specially selected by Ed Wicks DipWSET.

Event details

Come and blow away the January cobwebs at our Burns Night Scotch Whisky tasting. You'll discover the history of Scotch, explore whiskies from Islay to the Highlands, and taste the unique flavour profiles you find in each region.

This is a rare opportunity to taste six Scotch whiskies side-by-side so you can experience the diversity and complexity of this mythical drink. Expect some fan favourites and lesser-known bottlings Ed thinks you need to know about.

You'll taste these premium samples alongside specially-selected snacks to get you in the Burns Night mood. And perhaps Ed will treat you to a few stanzas of "Address to a Haggis" to close out the evening...

About Ed Wicks DipWSET

Ed Wicks DipWSET

Ed has been working in the drinks business in some form since he turned 18 years old. A long stint as a cocktail bartender laid the foundation for his love of spirits. It was during this time he decided to study the WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits qualification, which also ignited his passion for wine. Within a few busy years, he had completed both the Level 3 and Diploma.
