The story of bourbon is the story of America itself. Smoky, sweet, spicy and complex, this corn-based spirit has been a part of our culture for centuries. Recognized by Congress in 1964 as a “distinctive product of the United States,” bourbon is our national liquor. The history of our native spirit is long and colorful, from its birth on the banks of the Ohio river to George Washington’s role in the Whiskey Rebellion; from creating what we now refer to as NASCAR to being at the center of a befuddling Pappy Van Winkle heist in October of 2013 that, at the time of this writing, is still unsolved. Join us as we celebrate our native spirit this November at Cornman Farms. We will learn to mix three unique classic cocktails to highlight the varieties in bourbon: the Mint Julep, the Old Fashioned, and the Boulevardier. We’ll also delve into the colorful lore of our own American whiskey and learn what it is about bourbon that makes it different from all other whiskies. We will be serving some tapas to accompany our bourbon based cocktails.
