ABOUT ABOUT

You may think you know your stuff because of these drams you enjoy on a regular basis...but do you know why you like them so much? Do you know why you like certain single malts over others, or why you're having more than two blended Scotch whiskies within the half-hour following the official end of your workday? What about the water, allegedly source of all beauties, and the grains the beer-to-distill is made from? Learn how the oak shapes this rough new make into a delicate beverage, how the previous uses of the barrel affects its final taste, how the peat is used to impart a smoky trait to your favorite tipple, and why the Scots have been ruling the whisk(e)y world for so long. The terms "malting", "kiln", "single grain", "double-matured", "butt", "wort", "single barrel", "chill-filtration" mean anything to you? If not, this class will bring light to this sometimes obscure world of fine whisky. The history of it, the making of it, the tricks of the trade...you'll explore all this too, and much more.
