WhiskyGeeks is proud to present Whisky O’Clock, whisky classes, to assist you on your whisky journey!
Our classes are divided into three categories – Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. These categories help cater to whisky drinkers of different levels. In the current COVID era, all classes are currently conducted online until further notice. One day, we hope to have our classes back in a bar, face to face, drinking alongside you.
The classes will be updated regularly here. Alternatively, you can follow us on:
Upcoming Class Schedule
Class Name: UB 1.1 Back to Basics / Introduction to Whisky Flavours
3 February 2021
Level: Entry Level
Description of Introduction to Whisky Flavours:
Most introduction to whisky classes talks about the whisky regions of Scotland. However, we feel that a more modern way to introduce the wide whole of whisky is to talk about flavours and what flavours contribute to those flavours. This way, participants will learn aspects of whisky that can apply to whiskies outside of Scotland. In addition to that, participants can taste and identify the various whisky profiles they prefer and seek them out from whisky shops.
What we are tasting in this class:
- Grand Old Parr 12
- Borders Blended Malt
- Glenlivet 12 First-fill Bourbon
- Glendronach 10
- Laphroaig Select
Important Details:
Date: 3 February 2021

Note: We will stop accepting sign-ups once we reach the maximum number of participants as we have a limited amount of whiskies prepared.

About The Speakers
We have two speakers running our classes. Both of them work together to bring you the best experience for online whisky classes.
Teo Hong Fu (Left)
Hong Fu is a passionate whisky geek who went to Scotland to pay homage to the distilleries there. He also travelled to Spain to look at Spanish Sherry bodegas. As our resident technical geek, Hong Fu has first-hand knowledge of a working distillery and could share a lot of information with you. He also experiments with whisky maturation, and have plenty of stories to tell you about his adventures in oak chips maturation. HongFu’s qualification in whisky & spirits includes (2021) WSET Level 2 in Spirits (Pass with Distinction).
Zerlina Zhuang (Right)
Zerlina is a writer, a businesswoman and a whisky lover. She started the blog in 2017 and has grown the blog into more than just articles. When Hong Fu joined the company in 2019, the duo decided to share their joint knowledge about whisky through classes and private whisky sessions. Zerlina is a history buff who reads up on distilleries, as well as the history of whisky. There are many nuggets of whisky history from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Japan that she could share with you. Zerlina’s qualification in whisky & spirits includes (2019) Whisky Ambassador, (2020) EWA Introduction to Whisky (SQA-Certified) and (2021) WSET Level 2 in Spirits (Pass with Distinction).
