Join William Schragis, guest lecturer from the Culinary Institute of America and National Director of Barrell Craft Spirits in a lecture and discussion about the modern state of the Whiskey industry. He will give a brief overview of the actual definition of whiskey in the 5 main whiskey-producing countries and speak about some of the most successful classic and emerging whiskey makers. He will then offer some personal insight on how companies large and small have capitalized on the growing interest and how others have failed to teach the world why they are so special.
