From the Heart of the Scottish Highlands –
TasteTalk presents shared moments of pure pleasure
We call our tasting events FLINGS focussing on the sampling of world-beating and locally made chocolate truffles paired with Scotland’s finest spirits.
When you have an hour or two to spare, there is no better thing than a Fling – whether you live in this beautiful area or are paying us a visit.
Our Taste Ambassadors host these unique tasting events at hotels and other convinial venues around the area. Or why not book for a Fling in our popular Tasting Lounge and Shop in beautiful Dunkeld?
SWEET SENSATIONS –
A Scottish Triumph
While away an hour or two exploring the magic of fine chocolate truffles paired with Scotland’s smoothest oak-aged malts and extra-special gins.
Close by in Grandtully, Iain Burnett has gained world fame as a master chocolatier blending locally sourced fresh cream, the finest single-origin cocoa beans, and natural flavourings.
Equally compelling is the story behind our carefully chosen whiskies and gins, which tell a triumphant Scottish tale. These yeasty concoctions of ancient and modern recipes using locally grown and malted barley have conquered the world.
Each Taste Talk gathering is a complete entertainment guided by our Ambassadors. With music and film mixed in, they make sure every Fling goes with a swing.
YOUR FLING, YOUR WAY
Wonderful ways to have a Fling
Individuals or groups can book a Fling through our website, by email, phone, or in person at our Dunkeld base. And if time is short, we offer MiniFlings – audio-guided pairings of our signature products. Our shop and display area sells chocolates, miniatures, and special TasteTalk Kit packed with everything needed to host your own home-based Fling.
CHOCOLATES BY:
The Highland Chocolatier
Iain Burnett – the Highland Chocolatier – is recognised as a world-class artisan chocolatier with over 45 national and international awards. Based a few miles from Taste Talk, he is now the premier Scottish truffle expert which explains why distilleries are keen to match the textures and flavours of his truffles with their premium products.
THE BEST OF SCOTLAND
Perfectly Paired Whiskies & Gins
Equally compelling is the story behind our whisky and gin selections. The art of producing the finest distillations is a crucial part of the story our Ambassadors communicate at every Fling. Just like the chocolates so lovingly crafted by Iain, the process is complex and dependent on the finest ingredients. Ancient recipes, the purity of the local watercourses, the quality of the grain, manipulated with distinctive skill.
JOIN SCOTLAND’S VERY BEST
Being a Beacon Venue
Taste Talk is keen to cultivate a regular relationship with premium hotels and other hospitality venues. Flings will be held on their premises on a set day every month or every week, providing their guests with something novel and captivating.
Booking a Fling gathering is also a great way to enhance a standalone event such as weddings or conferences adding a pleasurable new dimension to every guest’s stay.
