Barley Classes
One of the things least understood about the scotch and Irish whiskey is the material from which it is made.
This class demystifies barley for the average consumer, and equips bar and serving staff with the language to demystify it for their guests.
Starting with untreated barley, and Irish whiskey, I walk the group through each expression giving them the opportunity to see, feel, and smell the barley that makes it.
