The WSET Level 2 Award in spirits is meant for individuals wishing to develop their expertise in spirits and liqueurs.

You will be tasting approximately 30 different spirits, from whiskies, vodka, gin, tequilas, liqueurs and rum. You’ll also learn about the fundamental production methods and principal raw materials discovering how they are used to make the key spirit styles. You’ll also explore the key practices and principles of serving spirits and the use of spirits in cocktails.

Upon successful completion you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin, and will be able to use the associated WSET certified logo.

We offer this course as a three day course, with the exam scheduled for the final afternoon of the course. Participants will receive their course material in advance, and it is recommended that all candidates allow 11 + hours of preparation to read the course text prior to the course days.

The course days will involve evaluation and tasting of spirits. Therefore, you must be of legal drinking age to enrol.
