Join Matt Zitrick, Level 3 Whiskey Sommelier, featuring one of the largest collections in

America with over 4,500 bottles from around the globe at the Whiskey Crusaders Whiskey Castle in Hurst, TX.

 

During the tasting class, you will learn about the history, the nostalgia of brands, and the
magic of the category, while also learning nosing and tasting methods to get the most out of your whiskey. You will learn the art of deductive reasoning while learning about
distillation methods and the stories of how the “Water of Life” came about. 

 

Choose from:

The Americas - From the ryes our founding fathers started with, to the bourbon of the
Kentucky gentleman, the craft scene, wheat whiskey, blends, and to the emergence of the American single malt category, there is a whiskey made in America for you. Our neighbors to the north in snow covered Canada with their mysterious blends and the south from Mexico to Peru with their heirloom corn starting to take the world by storm.

 

Ireland & the United Kingdom - Visit the lands of the founders of whiskey in Ireland &
Scotland as well as England & Wales. Try some peated scotch from the beautiful ocean
ravaged Islay, to the gentler mostly unpeated whiskies of the mainland. Or visit the
funkiness of Campbeltown. In Ireland, do not be afraid to try older triple distilled blends,
single pot stills, or Irish single malts which have made a monstrous comeback over the

past few years.

 

World Categories - Do not forget about the beautiful softer whiskies of the far east from
Japan, the younger subcontinental single malts of India, to the tropical extravagance of
Taiwan and intense climate of Australia as well as other non-traditional whiskey countries such as France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, South Africa, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, etc. to explore.

 

DARE to be BOLD- Choose from all three categories for a global experience
