CLASS & TASTINGS
When European settlers arrived in North America they took their penchant for making whiskey with them! And as they – and the nation – moved west they discovered new methods of making this beloved spirit, especially once they settled in what was at that point Virginia but which would one day be Kentucky. Learn (and taste!) how the limestone rich waters west of the Appalachians make some of the finest whiskies in the world, why distillers char their barrels before they use them, and how German settlers in Maryland and Pennsylvania adapted the recipe for their beloved rye bread into a new spirit in the new world.
