OCT 10 - American Craft Whiskey and Bourbon Masterclass

American whiskey is much more than the well-known major bourbon brands. Scattered across the United States, countless smaller craft distilleries have sprung up in recent years, experimenting extensively with local grains, various mash bills, distillation methods, and unique cask aging. As a result, within the American craft scene, you will find not only bourbon, but also rye whiskey, American single malt, and all kinds of innovative whiskey styles.
During this masterclass, Norbert takes you through a carefully selected range of American Craft Whiskeys . Using various glasses, you will discover how the choice of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley determines the character of a whiskey, and how much influence new charred American oak barrels, aging, and the local climate have. Bourbon, for example, contains at least 51% corn, while American rye whiskey contains at least 51% rye and typically has a spicier character.
A great masterclass for both the experienced whiskey enthusiast and anyone curious about what is currently happening in the American whiskey world outside of the big names.
