Ian Mckerrow of the Edinburgh Whisky Academy added: "I highly recommend the Certificate in Sensory Appreciation workshops that Ann MILLER, the Dram Queen is hosting in early September. The workshops are meant to develop the candidate's sensory vocabulary and involve lots of hands on and interactive activities, including aroma recognition, food pairings and taste tests.

With her extensive experience in the industry, Ann is the perfect guide and her Dram Room in the heart of Speyside is an excellent venue for the workshops."
