You might think whisky events are all about standing around, swirling glassware and nodding politely. But the upcoming Le Clos tasting from 7 to 11pm on November 14 promises to turn that expectation on its head. The team has fashioned an event – aptly named The Taste of Whisky – at the Bulgari Yacht Club that drops you smack in the middle of craftsmanship, storytelling and indulgence.
Over 25 premium names, including Glenmorangie, Royal Salute, Nikka, and Gordon & MacPhail, are represented here. There will be guided tastings at each stand, as well as storytelling sessions that let the history behind the bottle resonate. And because taste isn’t limited to just what you pour, there is a selection of exquisite canapés designed to accentuate each flavour you encounter.
If you’re the kind of person who appreciates whisky for its collectible value and the legacy behind each bottle, then you’ll want to opt for one of the three exclusive masterclasses that dig even deeper than the general showcase does. Royal Salute’s “Art of Blending” reveals the precision behind a whisky that has matured for more than 21 years and lives behind the Tower of London’s vaults. Gordon & MacPhail brings you into the world of the oldest whisky ever released, with 85 years of maturation, iteration, and stubborn dedication. And Le Clos’s own La Reserve Cask Programme unveils an exclusive selection of one-off casks, hand-picked for the collector who wants something unique.
General admission comes in at 400 dhs* for the full evening showcase, guided tastings, and the chance to secure entry to a masterclass. If you fancy stepping up, you can add a masterclass for an extra 250 dhs per session*.
Consider The Taste of Whisky an invitation to a level of whisky culture that deserves more than a quick sip. So go ahead, let your inner connoisseur have its moment.
