Brilliant course! Nick is very informative, easy going, approachable and overall a great teacher! Your taste buds will be in awe with everything you get to taste in this 2 day intensive course! Having come in with a decent spirits knowledge, I honestly learned a lot from this and would recommend to people of all levels who want to learn a bit more about how to taste and discuss the world of spirits.

Nick expertly led the class through the course content, busting some myths and exploring the key information on each spirit category, including production techniques, labelling and typical characteristics. Tasting and evaluating spirits is a big part of the training, tough job, and this included discussion with Nick and the course participants to fully explore the wide selection of samples presented. A fantastic two days of training which has given me more confidence and knowledge for my role at Clonakilty Distillery and a greater appreciation of the wider spirits family.
Nick is truly passionate about spirits and this was very evident in his approach to teaching this subject. The students enjoyed the classes with Nick and found his style of teaching easy to follow and understand. I look forward to Nicholas returning to the college offering the WSET courses in the coming months.
