The Spirit School at Brandy Library

Intro to Scotch: Scouting Scotch

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.

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.

American Whiskey: A Bourbon biography

Travel with us won’t you through American history in a glass, just make sure the glass big enough, because our ancestors liked to drink more than a bit.  We will sample a variety of American whiskies, Ryes, and oh yeah, Bourbon.  Learn how we got to Kentucky, where it all went wonderfully well, and horribly wrong, and how we got to that little corn whiskey we love so much today. 

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, but he will spare your the art of distilling, the history, and other technicalities.
