Description

In the world of sippable spirits, the amount of time a spirit spends in oak is often viewed as a mark of quality and refinement. While it is true that very well-aged spirits can be among the best in the world, more time in oak does not necessarily indicate quality. Indeed, oak may only get in the way when spirits are produced utilizing specific techniques: high-quality base materials, lengthy fermentations, and distillations at low temperatures. Mezcal and arguably Tequila fit most definitively in this category, but Rum can fit this description as well. While many well-aged rums are excellent, other producers make spirits which are best enjoyed unoaked and untamed. In this class, Evan Christie will lead you on an exploration of these pristine examples of sugarcane spirits. Expect rums made in different styles from cleaner, molasses-based rums to funkier, sugarcane juice rums. Plan to travel around many rum-producing nations from expected Caribbean haunts to off the coast of Africa to anywhere sugarcane can grow. Learn how the brilliant and untamed spirits can captivate your senses, and make you a fan of these wild, unbridled spirits. Must be 21+ to attend.
