Kosmonaut’s World Whisky Tasting Session

On Saturday 25^th January from 3pm till 5pm, Kosmonaut will host a tasting session celebrating superior whiskeys from around the world that have taken inspiration from the traditional Scottish drink, on the afternoon of Burns Night.

The 18^th Century Scottish tradition of Burns Night, celebrated by Scots around the world, is a supper toasted with Scotch, haggis and poetry on the birthday of revered Scottish poet Robert Burns.

In honour of the tradition, this year Kosmonaut is celebrating the influence of Scotch in countries around the world who now produce some incredibly impressive whiskeys.

Among many, the tasting session will feature Japan’s Nikka Whisky; its roots lie in Scotland as the dedicated producers visited the country 1918 with the sole aim of discovering its secrets to eventually build Japan’s first distillery.

Also served will be canapés with flavours matched to each whiskey, complimenting the origins and components of each drink:

Sweden: Mackmyra Single Malt Whiskey
With home-cured gravadlax on sourdough with mustard sauce

South Africa: Bain’s Cape Mountain Whiskey
With home-made Zebra Burgers

America: Willett Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
With buttermilk fried chicken

Japan: Nikka Whisky

Holland: Millstone Dutch Single Malt Whisky
With Oilebollen traditional pastries
