The Spirit School at
Brandy Library
Scotch: Scouting the world of Scotch
whisky
A spirited evening as we climb every peak and
descend the Glens of Scotland to discover the power of some
of the biggest names, such as Glenmorangie, and Laphroaig,
but as we also uncover the warmth and complexity in the
hidden gem distilleries. Learn what to look for in a
quality malt, how to buy, and most importantly the style of
malt that suits you best. Learn some technical points on
whisky-making and speak like a stillman as you get familiar
with terms like ppm, foreshots,
reduction, chill-filtration, etc
Precious and Rare Scotch
Warning! This class is not for the weak of heart. Here we
will take a close look at some of the most exclusive bottles
coming from Scotland, the innovation that has them turning
heads, and the true beauty that over a century of practice
can bring to your glass. Expect such delights as a not to
be missed bottling of The Glenlivet, a rare vintage
Macallan, and a few older malts. This is an advanced
class, and fundamental Scotch knowledge is encouraged.
Bourbon: our national pride
Travel
with us as we go through American history in a glass, just
make sure the glass is big enough, because our ancestors liked
to drink more than a bit. We will sample a variety of
American whiskies, ryes, wheat and classic bourbons in many
shapes. Learn how to see through the current trends
and navigate amongst the ocean of labels available in the
stores.
Precious and Rare Bourbon
You obviously like your bourbon very
much, but you really want to know why
and, let's face it, you can't just miss you father-in-law's
coming birthday gift! In this class, we go through older
whiskies, rare and hard-to-find ones. This is an advanced
class, and fundamental Bourbon knowledge is encouraged.
Private
Tastings
Experience the
depth of the seminar without the lecture! Our spirit
sommelier will guide you through a tasting of your spirit of
choice,
and will explain the art of
distilling, the history, and other technicalities. About two
and a half hours of entertaining lecture and tasting with
light hors d'oeuvres, for $125/person all inclusive; 6
students minimum. |
