Join mixologist Cameroxn Calv for an immersive live virtual journey into the spirited history of whiskey—from Scotland’s misty hills to the distilleries of Japan and just about everywhere in between—while you learn how to make your own custom whiskey blends and craft three iconic cocktails.
- Cameroxn will begin with a history of whiskey’s origins in the British Isles: who originally came up with it (spoiler alert: it depends who you ask!) and what the heck a single malt is anyway.
- Then, you'll make a Scotch-based Blood and Sand while you learn how to identify the distinctive notes of this whiskey style and Cameroxn explains the ingredients from your Whiskey Making Kit (see "Comes with the class," below) that will work for your own signature Scotch blend.
- Next up, American whiskey: the history of bourbon and rye and their cousin to the north, Canadian whiskey. You’ll make a classic Manhattan and discuss how to craft your signature bourbon blend.
- Third, you’ll explore whiskey’s spread around the globe, including Japan, India, and even go Down Under to discover a Tasmanian distiller. You’ll also mix a highball and find out how to make a Japanese-style whiskey blend.
- You’ll close the class by learning how to create your own 2–3 signature whiskey blends using the included kit, and explore other ways to become at-home whiskey makers.
Class length: 90 minutes.
Comes with the class: Our
Whiskey Making Kit includes everything you need to craft batches of the richly flavored, amber liquor—just supply your own vodka (when it’s made from grains, it’s essentially the same as unaged whiskey).
Please note: Our expert mixology instructors create a bar vibe in their classes, with conversation that may include mild profanity and references to the fun of getting buzzed.
