It’s Flavor That Matters: Craft Whisk(e)y Blind Tasting Without Bias
WHAT: An informational guided BLIND tasting of EIGHT American craft whiskeys (from THREE distilleries) lead by the Director of Brand Advocacy for the artisanal spirits company Samson & Surrey
WHEN: #WhiskyWeek Special Event! Thursday, October 5th, 8pm-9pm (Come to the bar early, have a beer and relax until we start. Kyle's team will be pouring tastes and talking to the crowd.)
So many things affect our choices when it comes to which whisk(e)y to enjoy – marketing, reviews, package style, word-of-mouth, etc. In the end, the true arbiter of that choice should be the flavor of the liquid in the bottle, and the effect it has on your individual palate. Tonight, we will strip away all the pretense and blind taste eight different small-production whiskies from three different distilleries in the US and abroad. At the end, we’ll reveal each liquid and its unique story to discover which was truly your favorite – sans preconception! Hosted by Samson & Surrey’s Director of Brand Advocacy & US Bartenders’ Guild Executive Vice President Kyle McHugh
