Bourbon Tasting with Barrel Master Tom Fischer: The Story Tasted & Told
Advertisement
Treat your senses to a bourbon history lesson straight from a true barrel master. This first event in our four-part series traces bourbon’s story from its early American roots to the glass in your hand at this tasting—starting in Kentucky’s storied rickhouses and reaching into newer bourbon regions like New York and beyond—through the decades when it almost slipped out of fashion.
As you taste, Tom will connect that history to the way you experience bourbon, inviting you to think about when you first really noticed it, how it became part of your own story and how looking at it again with fresh context can completely elevate the experience. Whether you’re just getting curious about bourbon or you’re the person friends call for bottle advice, this event is built for you.
About the Host
Founder of BourbonBlog.com, bourbon expert Tom Fischer raises the bar on what tastings can be. For nearly 20 years, Tom has explored rickhouses, judged spirits competitions, written about bourbon and followed its growth and story. From his appearance as the featured Bourbon expert on the hit Netflix series Heist to stages at food and wine festivals across the country, he’ll bring that experience to each of these tasting events.
About the Band
With their foot-stomping rhythms, sing-along choruses and flourishes of mandolin and dobro, Orlando-based band Beemo weaves together folk, Americana and string traditions with a polished modern take. Playing original music as well as creative covers, Beemo has garnered a treasured following after nearly a decade performing locally.
