A Rather Cordial Conversation: The Science and History of Liqueurs

[/one_half]

[one_half_last]

Join Drambuie Ambassador Anthony Caporale for a journey through time and across the globe to explore the origins of flavored spirits! Anthony will guide you through the science and history behind such classic liqueurs as St. Germain elderflower spirit, Disaronno amaretto, Chartreuse, Benedictine, and of course Drambuie Scotch liqueur! We’ll look at why we began flavoring spirits, when it all started, and exactly how alchemy, religion, and medicine joined forces over the centuries to transform ordinary ethyl alcohol into extraordinary elixirs. Finally, you’ll get to try your hand as a Master Blender and create and taste your very own signature Scotch liqueur!
