From the organizer:
Tonga Tim resurrects his much loved Rumbullion education series class - Whiskey in Tiki! This is an extra special installment featuring Uncle Nearest Whiskies, with honored guest Eric Bucholtz - brand ambassador for this much respected Tennessee spirit!
This class introduces you to the origins, development, and styles of whiskies across the globe, with a larger focus on the American styles that make their way more commonly into tiki drinks. As we gain this overall understanding of the spirits, we will investigate more closely how whiskies made their mark in classic and modern tiki drinks.
The class will feature three classic whiskey tiki cocktails, each made with a different spirit from the Uncle Nearest portfolio. You will also get to taste these base spirits alone, including 1856 Bourbon, 1884 Bourbon, and Uncle Nearest Rye. Eric takes center stage during our chat to tell the extraordinary story of Uncle Nearest, the first African-American operated whiskey distillery.
Tim’s class guarantees to show you new things about whiskey, even for aficionados, while enjoying some great liquid creations all along the way!
