3 PM – A Whiskey and Its Grains- hosted by Moonshine University’s Tyler Gomez-Basauri

3 PM
Tyler-Gomez Basauri / Operations Manager at Moonshine University  

This forum includes a spirit tasting.

Come join us for an in depth class of how each individual grain can greatly effect that spirit that comes off the still. We will examine corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley, the four gains that make up over 99% of whiskies, and how each grain adds its own specific flavors and aromas to whiskey. Learn the nuances of each grain and how if will impact the final product. We will also cover the fast growing trend of using alternative grains and how those will change the whiskies that we know and love. Instruction includes a thorough analysis of each individual grain distillate as well as the production process of milling, cooking, fermentation, and distillation.
