About The Science Of Whisky

Listed Under Food and Drink Events / Nights Out Events

Taste six high-quality whiskies from around the world, featuring a variety of styles all chosen to complement a discussion of the science of whisky production, alcohol and astronomy.

You'll end the evening with the final dram of the night tasted under the twinkling stars of the Planetarium, where you'll be flown into space to explore clouds of interstellar alcohol and discover how everything in your glass came to be, forged in the heart of a dying star.

This event is for over-18s only. If you're lucky enough to look under the age of 25 we'll ask you for ID when you arrive, so please bring some with you to avoid disappointment.
