Testimonials
The education was solid and interesting. The instructor was an expert in the field and personable in his delivery of very dense material. The real-life approach, facts and science, was deeply appreciated. Wonderful field trip - and that honed the classroom learning with the sensory very well. The learning environment and staff service was exceptional.

A fantastic opportunity to develop a complete knowledge about single malts; with detailed information given by an authoritative and experienced lecturer. I was happy to follow it, it has already started to change my view of this exciting world and I feel an even greater desire (if possible) to do whatever I can to work for this industry. The organisation is perfect. Great offer for the price.

The organisation of the course was marvellous. The setting for the course was beautiful and the catering was very, very good. A lot goes in to the course and it really shows. I can't speak highly enough of the EWA. This course exceeded all of my expectations. If you really want to know about whisky and be inspired - do this. The course content is so thorough and expertly thought through, it's more than worth the cost.
