Spirit-lovers across Dubai are in for a treat, with the launch of Fairmont Dubai’s monthly spirits appreciation sessions.

The series, to be held at The Cigar Bar in the hotel’s wine bar Cin Cin, will be hosted by Leith Matthews, RESERVE brand ambassador for Diageo’s luxury spirits portfolio.

The programme will kick off on Wednesday May 20 with a guide to single malt whiskies, allowing guests to taste products from many of Scotland’s leading distilleries.
 
Future sessions will include guides to Johnnie Walker Scotch whiskies, as well as gin, martini, tequila and vodka.
