Overview
Do you love whisky, or did you always want to learn more about this special spirit? With so many whiskies to choose from, it is really hard to understand the difference. Expat Club found a great solution, because we have invited Richard Van Nieuwenhoven, a whisky expert from the Netherlands. He is also the person behind
The Spirit of Brussels, a one-day Whisky Festival taking place in The Holland House on Place Luxembourg on 6 April.
Richard will introduce six amazing (malt) whiskies. During a two-hours Masterclass he will teach you more about the history of whisky and how it is produced. He will also explain the differences between whisky producing countries, and the jargon used for judging whiskies. Needless to say you will also get the chance to taste various whiskies. After this Masterclass whisky tasting you can safely find your way through the wonderful world of whisky….
Included
- 2-hours Masterclass in an inspiring environment
- Tasting of various whiskies
