Whiskey for the Curious

Join us at Society 57 for Whiskey for the Curious, a guided introduction to whiskey designed to make the experience more accessible, enjoyable, and understood.

Led by Jackson Jackson-Schultz, this session will walk participants through the fundamentals of whiskey—how it’s made, what influences its flavor, and how to taste it with intention.

This experience is designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike, with a focus on clarity, education, and enjoyment.
