| The rationale for the course title is exactly that: a chance to experience small batch and single cask Bourbons and ask questions. And who doesn’t need to ask a question in this expanding world of fine spirits. Soooo! What is Bourbon? What percent corn? What else, a little barley and wheat or rye, but not both. How is it distilled? How is Bourbon aged, and what is the strange relationship between Kentucky and Scotland? What is Tennessee whiskey? What did ….
We will sample at least 8 different bottlings, maybe more. But the main theme is Drink Better and Drink Less. We will nose our way through the offerings and put a little in your glass. I’ll suggest a little water to open up the spirit, bottled not Branch, and we will try to express our common reactions to what is in the glass before us.
