Tastings & education

Derek and Mike run live whiskey seminars covering everything from what whiskey actually is to how it's blended, distilled, and aged. Over 3+ years of teaching experience and close to 50 classes taught, they've built a curriculum that works whether the room is full of lifelong bourbon drinkers or people trying their first pour.

The goal isn't to teach you everything they know in one sitting. It's to help you appreciate the time and craft behind every bottle, however you choose to drink it, and leave with a sharper palate and a better sense of what you actually like.

Classes run for private events, corporate outings, birthdays, and public tastings alike. Every session is built around Derek and Mike's Certified Whisk(e)y credentials, so you're getting real expertise, not just a guy reading off tasting notes.
