Our Training approach for your staff is informal and fun which aids the learning process – but it is also focused, passionate and successful.

We will introduce your staff to Scottish Malt Whiskies or Gins.  Our Introductory Training Modules include notes, nosing & tasting exercises using the Aroma Academy© method1 and front facing service guidance. We also team up with Uisge Source, Water of Scotland, to give a quality and holistic approach to out Training.  The Advanced courses also offer product history and guidance on upsell as well as matching product to customer need, taste and demographic.

In short Peaty Nose gives your business and your staff the confidence and tools to up-sell to customers.  The customers get an enhanced choice and experience in your establishment and their satisfaction is best served and achieved.
