Premium Whiskey Tasting for 8 people
Join Matt Zitrick, Level 3 Whisk(e)y Sommelier, featuring one of the largest collections in America with over 4,500 bottles from around the globe at the Whiskey Crusaders Whiskey Castle in Hurst, TX, and reviewed on the Whiskey Crusaders YouTube Channel, for an educational Holy Grail Level whiskey class of eight whiskeys of your preferred style!
During the tasting class, you will learn about the history, the nostalgia of brands, and the magic of the category while also learning nosing and tasting methods to get the most out of your whiskey. The art of deductive reasoning as to what you are nosing and tasting. All while learning about distillation methods and the stories of how the “Water of Life” came about.
Choose from:
The America’s - From the rye’s our founding fathers started with, to the bourbon of the Kentucky gentleman, the craft scene, wheat whiskey, blends, and to the emergence of the American single malt category there is a whiskey made in America for you. Our neighbors to the North in snow covered Canada with their mysterious blends and the South from Mexico to Peru with their heirloom corn starting to take the world by storm.
Ireland & the United Kingdom - Visit the lands of the founders of whisk(e)y in Ireland & Scotland as well as England & Wales. Try some peated scotch from the beautiful ocean ravaged Islay to the gentler mostly unpeated whiskies of the mainland or visit the funkiness of Campbeltown. In Ireland, do not be afraid to try older triple distilled blends, single pot stills, or Irish single malts which have made a monstrous comeback over the past few years.
World Categories - Do not forget about the beautiful, softer whiskies of the far east from Japan, the younger subcontinental single malts of India, to the tropical extravagance of Taiwan and intense climate of Australia, as well as other non-traditional whiskey countries such as France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, South Africa, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, etc. to explore.
Dare To Be Bold – Choose from all three categories for a global experience
