Whisky Masterclass in Georgetown: 6 Single Malts & Tasting Skills

Taste six single malts and learn to read a whisky like a connoisseur

A two-hour whisky masterclass in Georgetown teaches you to taste, evaluate and profile single malt whiskies from different regions. The experience includes a welcome signature cocktail, six guided tastings, a dram of your choice, Malaysian snacks, a certificate and a mystery gift. Instruction is available in English or Mandarin, and participants must be 21 or older.

The experience

Six single malts from different regions form the spine of this class, each one chosen to show you how to identify flavor, aroma and finish like someone who actually knows whisky. You start with a brief history of how whisky is made, grain to glass, then move into the tasting itself, learning the technique that separates a casual sip from a real evaluation. A welcome signature cocktail sets the tone before the tastings begin, and you'll finish by choosing one dram to explore on your own terms, tasting what you've learned.

The venue sits in Georgetown's 19th-century heritage streets and is reachable by GPS, bus or Grab. Government and private parking are both available. The class runs two hours and wraps with a personalized certificate and a mystery gift to take home. You'll also have access to the bar's full whisky lineup if you want to explore beyond the six, and complimentary Malaysian snacks and unlimited water come throughout. Instruction is in English or Mandarin. Pick your language at checkout.

Minimum age is 21, and non-Muslim participants only, per local regulations. The venue is not wheelchair accessible. Drunk driving is a serious offense in Malaysia, so arrange a Grab or taxi rather than driving yourself.
