"The instructor is wonderfully knowledgeable and fun to learn from. His knowledge of the history, both that written in books and the whimsically anecdotal is extensive. To top it all off I've learned what to think about as I'm drinking a whiskey and how to truly appreciate it."-Sandra K.

"Fantastic class. Just as enjoyable for whiskey enthusiasts as it is for absolute beginners. The instructor obviously has a wealth of knowledge on the topic, but also has a passion for the material that made the class so enjoyable."-Raymond A.
