Description
This is a terrific way to learn about bourbon regions, styles, distilling, and the distilling industry, and for all levels of bourbon knowledge. With bourbon there is a lot to learn, so we keep the topics and content true, new, and exciting. This is a class to take with a family member or friend. We will be tasting products of every sort at every class, and we will show you how to expectorate (spit out) and taste the products in an insightful way. Many of the classes will involve a guest speaker, a visit by a knowledgeable representative of the industry. Twenty (20) spots available. Participants must be 21 years old. This is a casual and no stress class. Please, do not wear perfume or heavily scented skin products.
