Glasgow: Science of Whisky Tasting at Planetarium

Sample world-class whiskies and explore the science behind each dram. Experience a guided tasting beneath the stars in Glasgow’s Planetarium.
Begin your evening at Glasgow Science Centre’s Planetarium, where you’ll join experts from The Good Spirits Company for a unique whisky tasting experience. Delve into the fascinating science behind whisky production, from fermentation and distillation to the chemistry of flavour, all while sampling a curated selection of high-quality whiskies from around the world.

As you move through the tasting, each whisky is paired with insights into its origins, style, and the scientific principles that shape its character.

Engage your senses as you compare aromas, colours, and flavours, guided by passionate hosts eager to share their knowledge.

The evening culminates under the domed ceiling of the Planetarium, where your final dram is enjoyed beneath a canopy of stars.
