The private single malts tasting takes place in an elegant private cellar of a famous whiskey bar in Athens, in a vaulted room with great atmosphere and hundreds or rare malts laying around the cellar’s, walls. The private tasting is paired by elegant and rare finger food (bitter chocolate, rare botarga and caviar, cured meats and cheese, dried fruits and nuts etc) that perfectly matches with the specific malts . Normal private tastings include 3 rare single malts and finger food but tastings can be tailored according to the clients wishes with more malts (up to 5) or different finger food in more premium packages.
