Come find out how two of the world's most famous whisk(e)ys stack up as we pair KY Bourbon against Scotch Whisky on the tasting mat!
About this Event

We're taking a trip to the lush green valleys and vast Lochs of Scotland without ever leaving the comfy confines of The Bluegrass State.

Join host Phil Kollin ("Phil Talks Whiskey") for another unforgettable whiskey tasting event, comparing some of the similarities and stark differences between pours of Kentucky Bourbon and Scotch Whisky.

Come learn a little more about Scotland's legendary whisky-producing regions that have been making whisky for centuries. It'll be an eye-opening evening where smoky and peaty collide head on with corn, oak and vanilla. We'll also take a closer look at the ties between some of Kentucky's most well known bourbon and distilling families to Scotland.

Bring your curiosity and desire to taste something new alongside something that's a bit familiar...but please leave the kilt, bagpipes and bad Sean Connery impression at home.
