Description

Learn about and taste the many spirits to come out of Asia,. Distillation was almost certainly invented on the Asian continent, possibly as many as three different times - in China, in India, and on the Arabian Peninsula (from whence European producers learned the art). Yet despite this long and continued history of spirits production, spirits from Asia have made only occasional inroads into western markets. Japanese and Taiwanese whiskies have each carved out small but dedicated followings, while more traditional spirits remain curiosities to most consumers. In this class, Evan Christie will take you on a journey through Asian spirits, both the more familiar and the esoteric. While the topic is vast, this survey should provide insights into the distilling traditions of China, Japan, India, and other major players. Expect to taste the familiar and delightful, as well as spirits that challenge your notions of what flavors distillation can produce. Join us from this fun, informative, and downright delicious class!
