Sample Kentucky's best bourbons to discover what makes a fine bourbon taste so good. Understand what to look for in terms of complexity, and explore in-depth the rules and methods distillers use to create this fine spirit. We will blind taste 6 different bourbons to challenge our taste buds in an effort to tease out the almost 80 aroma compounds in addition to covering history, casking, distilling, and of course, drinking. You will leave this class with a solid foundation on America's fine spirit. Light fare will be served.

So you thought Bourbon only came from Kentucky? Not so! This class will look at some of the new craft distillers popping up all over the place, from Utah (High West Distillers), to Colorado (Breckenridge) to New York State's Tuthilltown Distillery where special guest Gable Erenzo, Master Distiller and Ambassador to Hudson Whiskies will join us to share his knowledge and experience on distillation to provide you with a sneak-peak at this growing trend. Light Fare will be served.

Applied Practice: Vat Your Own Bottle
February 6th, 2013 at 7:00pm
We move very close to home in this final phase of the Bourbon series with special guest Nicole Austin, Master Distiller from Kings County distillery where she will share with us how a master distiller actually selects casks from a variety of aged spirits to create a bottling. Guests will be given a rare opportunity to draw samples from various casks (casks will be brought in) to create their own bottling. Light fare will be served.
Price: $125 + Tax

NOTE: Class tickets can be purchased a la carte. Though participating in all three is recommended, enthusiasts do not need to attend each class in the series to be able to enjoy them.
