About the event
Ever wonder how professionals actually taste spirits — and why they seem to pick up on so much more? How to Taste Spirits Like a Pro breaks down the technique behind confident, intentional tasting in a way anyone can use.
In this class, you’ll learn how to properly nose, sip, and evaluate spirits while understanding how factors like alcohol level, texture, balance, and finish shape what you’re experiencing. We’ll taste through a curated selection of spirits and practice identifying aromas and flavors — without pressure, pretension, or “right answers.”
By the end, you’ll taste with more clarity, trust your palate, and walk away with tools you can apply to any spirit, from tequila and whiskey to gin and beyond.
