Whiskey Tour of the World

Weeks 6, 7 | Days Vary | Turner Community Center | Ages: 21+

Whiskey (or "whisky" in Scottish parlance) is an amber spirit that is the pride of Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Canada and the United States. This course will be an interactive (and tasty!) way to learn how these beverages are made and the differences among the various types. A little history, including the affect of prohibition in the U.S., will also be discussed. Of course, no discussion of whiskeys is complete without a wee dram, so the course will include a tasting of selected examples of fine whiskeys from around the world. 

Materials fee of $15 due to instructor at start of class.
