Whisky or Compost?

I have heard of many different types of masterclasses, mostly relating to food, cheese, wine, whisky etc.

Here is a masterclass for composting – and only $150 for 3 hours!

That’s a lot of money for 3 hours composting.

I’d prefer a masterclass on cheese or whisky – at least then you get a slab of cheese of a half bottle of whisky to take home.
