The Experience

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).

About

When Cameroxn Calv went to college, he took his mother's bartending guide with him and began mixing drinks that proved to be way better than the beers served at frat parties. Since then, he's become dedicated to revealing the tips and tricks of the craft cocktail world. Combining mixology with a passion for video games and music, Cameroxn has transformed his Philadelphia apartment into a full-fledged recording and livestreaming studio, where he shares original cocktail recipes and unique techniques with his online audience. "Members of my community tell me I've created a safe and comforting space," Cameroxn says, adding, "I love knowing that an experience I’ve curated can make people feel this way."

In addition to the Whiskey Making Kit, you will need a cocktail shaker or equivalent, a jigger or tablespoon, a strainer, a mixing glass or equivalent, a cocktail spoon or equivalent, a funnel, a rocks glass, a coupe glass, a highball glass and the ingredients listed in the link below.

Fun class

Well, the class was a lot of fun and the presenter was very informative about the history of whiskeys, there wasn't a whole lot of time dedicated to actually making whiskey. In fact, it was the last five minutes when he said you can follow the recipes that came with the kit. It would've been nice to have a little bit more time to discuss the actual making of whiskey. Otherwise, I had a great time.

Learned so much about the history of cocktails!

Cam provided an amazing experience while we were drinking cocktails that walked us through the history of whisk(e)y -- with or without the e. Learned so much about the evolution of cocktails and greatly appreciated his enthusiasm about the art behind cocktails and his perspective on what we should think about in or out of our home bar.

Informative, Fun, and Easy!

This class was AMAZING - I honestly wasn't sure how a virtual cocktail class would translate, but Greg was so informative with some of the history of different cocktails and whiskeys, kept it incredibly engaging and fun with having people come off of mute or type into chat, and had us make awesome cocktails that taste/appear complex, but are really easy to make, so much so that I've continued to make them months after this class! I walked away from this class with not just a solid buzz (and an appreciation for Scotch which I had sworn I didn't like), but wanting to take more Uncommon Experiences. The fact that I didn't have to leave home was a bonus, not a hindrance to having an incredible time and I can't speak more highly about Greg's energy, professionalism, and ability to keep an audience engaged via Zoom. 10/10 recommend!
