About WhiskyU

Whisky, or Uisge Beatha in Gaelic, means “Water of Life”.

This lifetime of a drop that we enjoy everyday is something that fascinates, and makes one ask, how it became? In this question and this drive for knowledge in creating this special drop, we founded WhiskyU. A place to share this united knowledge that we have gathered all these years. Furthering this, we have combined professional courses with added interactive workshops to answer each stage of making whisky to simplify enjoying that special dram.

In conjunction with Moray College University of Highlands and Islands, we bring you the first professional certified whisky course from a university to Asia.

We drive to bring spirits knowledge to all areas of hospitality, retail industry, and whisky enthusiasts.

Sláinte or to your good health. And look forward to seeing at our next session.
