Two tastings, eight whiskies

Scottish Wonders stays in Scotland. The current line-up is Tullibardine, Highland Park 10, Deacon and Loch Lomond, so you taste a Highland single malt next to an island malt from Orkney and a blended malt, and hear why they taste so different. It is the classic Scotch tasting in Sofia and a good first step if you are new to whisky.

Worldwide Adventure goes around the world in four glasses: Teeling from Ireland, Paul John from India, Templeton Rye from the USA and Kamiki from Japan. If someone in your group thinks they already know whiskey, this is the one. The bar sometimes swaps a bottle for a similar one, and the host tells you what is in the glass on the night.

A good start to the night

Many groups book the whiskey tasting as the first stop of a stag do or a birthday: an hour with a host gives everyone something to talk about before the night moves on. It also works for colleagues after work, for couples who like a good dram, and as a gift for a whisky lover. Upstairs there are Chesterfield armchairs and a quieter room, downstairs the bar is livelier, and cigars are available at the bar if you want one with your whisky.

The tasting price covers the four pours. Anything else you order afterwards is paid at the bar.
