Whiskey Academy in Grand Island

Sideshow Spirits Whiskey Academy is where we will take you on an interactive drinking education of the finest kind. The second class in our Whiskey Academy will be Whiskey History part 1 . Part one will take us from the beginning and the origin of whiskey through its production and naming. It will then focus on whiskey in the new world, the colonies and the role it played in the Revolutionary War and our American independence. We will then carry on to the Whiskey Rebellion, the Whiskey Ring and end with the Civil War. Learn how whiskey is intricately intermingled in all of these historical events. And of course we will enjoy some whiskey’s along the way! Led by your host and instructor, Kip Givens, who is a Master Whiskey Taster, Certified Bourbon Professional and whiskey author.
