Whisky Tasting in Rotterdam
Smoky or smooth, young or aged for years: whisky has countless faces. During the whisky tasting in Rotterdam at Le Flamant Bleu, you taste different whiskies side by side and get to know the regions and styles, from Scottish single malt to American whiskey, in the seclusion of our hidden speakeasy.
A Journey through the World of Whisky
Long before whisky grew into the refined spirit that is poured in stylish bars today, it emerged in remote distilleries where grain, fire and oak shaped its character.
Time is the true master of whisky. Years of maturation in wooden casks transform a young spirit into a drink with depth, complexity and elegance.
The Oak Chronicles
During The Oak Chronicles, Le Flamant Bleu invites you to discover three carefully selected premium aged whiskies. Each whisky reveals a unique expression of oak, craftsmanship and maturation. Discover notes of herbs, smoke, vanilla and dark fruit as the story of whisky slowly unfolds in your glass. The journey ends with a timeless classic: Old Fashioned. A story of grain, oak and patience — told in four glasses. €45 per person
