A World of Character

About this experience

A Whisk(e)y Masterclass Across Six Countries

Six countries. Six expressions. A world of character.

Join us for an evening of discovery, exploration, and unexpected contrasts. Hosted by Nasry Haddad, A World of Character takes you on a journey through six distinct whisk(e)y-making traditions, exploring how origin, craftsmanship, and maturation shape the character of every pour.

From Scotland to Ireland, Taiwan, the United States, and more, each expression tells a different story through aroma, texture, and taste.

The tasting will be accompanied by a thoughtfully curated food pairing menu, designed to reveal new dimensions in each glass.
