Colorado Whiskeys Class
In Colorado Whiskeys you will learn about 12 whiskey distilleries (out of over 100 in Colorado) and what makes them unique and different from each other. You will also learn about the different types of whiskey each distillery makes and taste specially selected samples that are offered by 9 of these distilleries. In the process, you will taste examples of five major types of whiskey (bourbon, rye, wheat, malt, and corn) and explore the early history of whiskey in Colorado and what defines Colorado whiskey.
