Bourbon 201 Class at The Burlington Shrine Club, Burlington North Carolina

The "Bourbon 201 Tasting" is one of the most basic and second class that we teach at Whiskey University. (NOTE: classes do not need to be taken in order) .

In Bourbon 201 you will learn about the eight largest bourbon distilleries (out of eleven) and what makes them unique and different from each other. You will also learn about the different levels/types of bourbon that each distillery makes. You will then taste the "Flagship Brand" and some of the most popular "Super Premium Brand" that are offered by a few of the top distilleries.
