Whiskey in America: Archaeology Lecture & Tasting Event
Advertisement
Artifacts and records from Drayton Hall reveal a pervasive drinking culture, but whiskey is conspicuously absent. Why? The answer lies in geography, trade, and Revolution.
Join us as we trace alcohol consumption in South Carolina chronologically, exploring how Charleston’s economy and its deep ties to the Caribbean defined what ended up in the glass and what didn’t. Through historic records and archaeological findings, we’ll uncover how the upheaval of the American Revolution slowly shifted drinking culture, and how whiskey finally made its way south.
Accompanying the lecture, enjoy a guided tasting of four historically-inspired spirits.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, connoisseur, or curious visitor, this event offers a rare opportunity to savor flavors of early America while getting up-close with artifacts from Drayton Hall’s archaeological collection.
