Experience over 200 years of American Whiskey history as Heaven Hill’s Brand Educator, Benji Purslow leads you through ‘The Evolution of Bourbon’. As the only heritage distiller to produce every style of American whiskey, Heaven Hill is uniquely placed to be able to tell the story of how modern Bourbon came to be, through our range of historic whiskey brands.
This masterclass covers whiskey’s fascinating history, some myths and legends and production and ageing. You will taste six American whiskeys including Corn, Rye, Wheated Bourbon and Bourbon.
This unique whiskey tasting, with a slice of education on the side, is suitable for all levels of whiskey knowledge from first-timers to aficionados.
