With Christmas just around the corner, join us for a unique evening of food and whiskey pairings with chef and food scientist, Trevis L Gleason. Dingle is quite rightly regarded as the foodie capital of Ireland and in this tasting, Trevis will personally pair both the food and whiskey in order to bring out the various flavours in both.
What we taste in whiskey is based on physiology of sensory inputs just like when we taste food. We’ll explore the base elements of flavours – sweet, salt, sour, bitter, and the mysterious “umami” – in whiskeys from around the world by sampling them with foods selected and prepared for each. Far from a “whiskey pairing meal”, this event is sure to be an enjoyable and educational evening for all.
As there will be food provided, this tasting will cost an extra €5 per person
NB. No cash accepted on door
