"Wow. Just Wow. I can't really think of another word to describe the experience that I had at the T&F event at my local LA bar. I've been going to this bar for years and I almost always order a bourbon and a pizza. I thought that I knew whiskey before, but now thanks to T&F I can really go around impressing friends and family with my knowledge. Oh, and I won a distillery exclusive GlenAllachie. So yeah, just wow. "

"As a whisk(e)y enthusiast, I was absolutely blown away by T&F's amazing selection of bourbon, scotch, and international drams available to taste." The host, James, is exceptionally knowledgeable, and appears genuinely delighted to discuss any aspect of the whisky world. There was even a casual trivia event during the tasting, allowing me to win the remainder of a tasting bottle (a rare single cask of 2005 Glen Allachie), and a sealed bottle of ER10. 10/10 - would attend again!"

"Truth & Flavor hosted a small twenty or so person event in Bangkok while I happened to be there on vacation with my family. I didn't expect to find much good whiskey there, so man was this a treat! Three distillery exclusive single malts that were beyond description in how amazing they were and three single cask bourbons that completely changed my opinion about bourbon (I'm more of a Scotch and Japanese kind of guy). Fantastic Event! Can't wait to go to another!"

"So, I'll be very honest upfront and say that I know very little about bourbon. I didn't even know that bourbon and scotch are both technically whiskies. What I will say, is that this event was not a super snobby, veterans only kind of event. It was totally approachable for a beginner like me and I learned SO much while drinking some really rare whiskies and having fantastic conversations. I also won a single cask bourbon worth over $300!"

"Exceptional event - James was extremely knowledgeable and introduced me to whiskeys I likely would have never tasted anywhere else. He also walked me through the best process for tasting the whiskey to get the best experience. Highly recommend"

"I consider myself a whiskey enthusiast but James takes it to a whole other level. He took us by the "glencairhands" and explained things in a way that all of us understood, regardless of our experience. There were a couple of mind blowing moments that completely destroyed my expectations. Don't always believe the hype! I highly recommend going on a journey with James, it will be rewarding and set you on a course to a delicious and eye opening world."
