We had a lovely time at Al’s STUNNING home, spending the morning cooking delicious Moroccan food. Al’s instructions were easy to follow and he showed us how to put together some mouthwatering dishes (while doing a lot of the heavy lifting himself, thanks Al!) The cooking included a lot of taste testing of Al’s most special ingredients from all over the world, from olive oil to REAL cinnamon, which our team really enjoyed. The meal itself at the end was a delicious way to just sit and spend time together over a delicious home cooked meal. 10/10 would recommend as a great way to spend time with friends, family or coworkers while learning something new.

Impeccable atmosphere, intriguing spirits, and a awesome owner. Truly rare to have someone so knowledgeable about the geeky side of spirits, yet have such good taste in aesthetics. Old Moon Spirits has a great collection of drams, and hosts a pretty mean Tasting Gang. Cheers Jason, hope your mission of educating a future generation of whisky and spirit lovers comes to fruition!
