Journey through the life of Robert Burns with an immersive Scotch whisky tasting at the Ulster Folk Museum.

Every 35ml dram is paired with a whisky-led canapé created by The Edible Flower, and accompanied by a carefully selected Burns poem to deepen your connection to the whisky and Burns.

The afternoon concludes with a folk rendition of Auld Lang Syne, followed by a farewell performance from the Ferguson Pipe Band, complete with Scottish Dancing.
