It’s a bit of a weird thing…an arbitrary 100 proof this designation is calling for. Why not 94, or 110? There are specific reasons for linking higher proof Bourbons to higher quality juices, certainly, but going back in time is really the only way to explain this modern oddity so many big guys and smaller distiller alike seem to re-discover. This class will give us the occasion to approach very different styles of whiskeys, and naturally, we’ll explore the old and new ways of making Bourbon.
