Description

Learn about the current state of American Whiskey while taste key examples. Whiskey in America has undergone many transformations in its history. It has been known as a rough frontier drink, a refined tipple of the sporting set, an illicit substance, an old man's drink, a luxury good, and many phases in between. Today American Whiskey, especially Bourbon, commands worldwide respect. The demand for well-known brands often outstrips supply, and awards reign down on accomplished distillers and independent bottlers. Amid all this hype, glitz, and glamor, how is one to get to the heart of American Whiskey today? In this class, Evan Christie will attempt to make some sense of the world of American Whiskey. Expect to sample Bourbon, Rye, American Single Malt, and more. You will learn about how each of these categories has developed, what makes them distinct, and where they are being made. You will examine products from distillers large and small spread all across the USA and hopefully emerge a little more knowledgeable about the state of American Whiskey today.
