Summer school is in session.
Join us every Friday at 6pm for an educational, guided tasting in our intimate whiskey cellar.
Whether you are a novice or an expert collector, this weekly series offers an insightful and engaging look into the craft, history, and art of whisky making.
Led by Jack Rose Whiskey Advisor, Christian Taylor, each class features five thoughtfully selected whiskies that complement the class theme, along with a welcome cocktail and light bites.
Sessions wrap promptly at 7:30 PM, leaving plenty of time to continue the evening with dinner in the Saloon.
We look forward to tasting (and learning) with you, cheers!
