Challenge your senses and grow your whiskey knowledge with blind tastings.

During each tasting the chosen whiskeys will be described along with the nuances that make them different from the others. You’ll get to learn first hand how the art and science of whiskey making come together and manifest in unique flavor profiles. You will then decide based on your knowledge and your palate which whiskey is which.

Rum, anyone?

Let’s switch things up this month and taste some rums! During the tasting you’ll try three different aged rums. We’ll discuss the different styles of rum, which will include some history, as well as how rum is made. Of course, this tasting will be blind, so you’ll have to decide based solely on your palate which rum was which.

Very Sherry

Aging or finishing Scotch in sherry butts is a pretty common practice and it adds some subtle sweet, spicy and decadent notes to the flavor profile. But different sherries will have different impacts on the whisky and we’ll get to taste that first hand during this tasting. We’ll try a Highland single malt whisky that’s been aged in four different sherry barrels for the same amount of time. This direct comparison will be sherry interesting!
