Description

An in-depth look (or should we say taste?) at the incredible styles of Whiskey produced right here in the USA! Although America is a fairly new country, its native Whiskey has gained worldwide fame due to its rich history that matches its exquisite taste and quality. Whiskey has been the drink of choice for many Americans since time immemorial, with Bourbon and Rye possibly having been a constant companion as they’ve gone through life-changing and trend-setting phases throughout history. Through many wars, triumphs, prohibitions, and rebellions, whiskey has lasted and survived. Strap yourself in as we go on trip through the history of domestic whiskey. In this in-depth course, attendees will taste through a flight of ten American Whiskies - including Bourbon, Rye, Wheat whiskey, Corn whiskey, and more - while learning about their origin, what makes each one unique, and how they have evolved since our nation was founded. In addition to learning about each spirit, attendees will receive instruction on the fundamentals of nosing and tasting spirits.
