A spirit focused course guided by NY Mixologist Katie Stipe on the fundamentals & history of American whiskey.  Breaking down the technical terminology & variances so you can better build a diverse backbar & help your guests choose the ideal whiskey for what their palate & mood best suits.  Experience a comparative tasting from Bourbon, Rye, Tennessee, Blended & micro-distilled whiskeys to open your palate to the range of flavor profiles influenced by grain mash, distillation & ageing.

  • Fundamentals & History of American Whiskey
