This is not simply a tasting, but a shared moment of transition— an afternoon held gently before arrival.
Event Overview
As the amber light settles into the afternoon, join us at SPACS for a whiskey tasting experience shaped not only by flavor, but by perception.
In dialogue with our current exhibition ‘’Before Arrival‘’, this session invites a slower way of encountering. Not a destination, but a moment suspended in between where taste unfolds gradually, and meaning remains open.
🥃 Guided by Patrick Marran, the tasting moves through four distinctive styles, each revealing a different rhythm and character of whisky:
• Bourbon: Four Roses
• Rye: Jaywalk Rye Whiskey
• Scotch: Single Cask Peated Nc’Nean
• Japanese Whisky: Komagatake Wine Cask Finished Single Malt
