Review Body: I know next to nothing about whisky, but I felt like I became some sort of amateur whiskey expert after doing this whisky tasting masterclass with the true expert - Geovenn - who goes back to Scotland once a year! Geovenn is truly amazing! The whole session was incredibly thoughtful and had so much depth - without it ever feeling intimidating. From the moment we stepped into his cute shophouse in Katong (that he and his family actually live in), to having his senior cat and dog (Romeo & Juliet) join us, to tasting the whisky flight - it was amazing. Geovenn’s amazing energy, storytelling skills and ability to break down complex concepts and processes really helped me to follow along and gain a new appreciation for whisky. As we tasted the whisky flight that he prepared for us, I love that he has the entire map of Scotland on the table and explained the different regions of Scotland and how that impacts the taste. Some were crisp and light, others were very peaty and smoky (my fave), and some even had notes of the sea. We also learnt how other factors like different casks (sherry, oak etc) influence flavour and colour during the maturation process. Even rainfall plasy a role! All this to say, Geovenn is the whisky GOAT and we had so much fun learning all about it! It was also a lot of fun to checkout his massive whisky collection! Thanks Geovenn for the amazing hospitality - it was a wonderful night.

Review Body: Scotch & Sambal was such a brilliant experience! I went for a whisky tasting and absolutely loved the whole concept of this cosy shophouse bar. What made it special was not just the whisky itself, but the genuine passion that Geovenn and Marie have for Scotland, its culture, and, of course, its whisky. As someone who shares the same love for Scotland and its whisky, it was a real treat to meet people who are just as enthusiastic about it. From exploring the peaty, smoky Islay whiskies to discovering the different flavours and characteristics of Speyside drams, we were taken on a journey through Scotland, one glass at a time. It was more than just a tasting. We learnt about the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship behind each whisky, making every sip that much more meaningful. And of course, what would a Scottish experience be without some haggis? The fact that they even prepared haggis for us made the whole experience feel that much more authentic. Between the whisky, the food, and the stories shared along the way, it genuinely felt like we had travelled to Scotland without ever leaving Singapore. A huge thank you to Geovenn and Marie, for putting together such a thoughtful and memorable experience. If you love whisky, are curious about a wee taste of Scotland, this is definitely an experience worth checking out. As the Scots would say, slàinte mhath! 🥃

Review Body: Really enjoyed this one! Very well-curated flight of drams, felt a bit like we took a tour around Scotland hahaha, and the sequencing was good too. The hosts were both very passionate and knowledgeable, and I lovedd that they met us at our different levels. My cousin had zero whisky knowledge and they didn’t bombard her with info, while I had some knowledge so it was intermediate level convo. Another friend had a lot more whisky knowledge and they matched him at a higher level of discussion!! They are also super attentive!! My cousin winced just once at one of the drams and they caught it instantly and suggested adding a bit water to “open it up”. The space was soo nice too with Scottish music and some fabric deco. Overall really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Super recommended~~

Review Body: I’m not much of a whisky drinker at all, but Geovenn’s warm hospitality, the cosy atmosphere of his shophouse, and his chillax pets, Romeo and Juliet, immediately put me at ease and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Geovenn is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about whisky, but the way he shares his knowledge never makes us feel intimidated or out of our depth. Instead, it feels like we are being taken on a thoughtful, well-curated guided tasting journey through Scotland — relaxed, engaging and full of interesting nuggets of information. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Review Body: Our time with Geovenn at the whisky tasting experience was amazing. Every part of the experience was very thoughtful and intentional - from the story behind the welcome drink, to the line-up of whiskies and the music playing in the background. For a beginner whisky drinker like me, the session was very accessible and easy to follow because of Geovenn's amazing ability to articulate what we were tasting and his wonderful storytelling skills! Thank you Geovenn (not forgetting Romeo & Juliet) for the memorable session!
