Hello everyone!

Here's some exciting news from Distillery University: while our previous Workshops have covered the full spectrum of what it means to become a craft distiller, this Workshop focuses on one spirit only: the complex and intriguing Whiskey. Join us April 8-9, 2017 in Spokane, WA for this one-of-a-kind event. Here's a link to learn more.

Director of Education Todd Buckley is well-known for the award-winning gin he made at the Belletown Distillery. In 2014, his hand-crafted spirit scored a 94 from the Beverage Tasting Institute, beating out such notable gins as Beefeater, Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire. He'll be sharing his experiential secrets as well as his technical knowledge in this 2-day Workshop that is not to be missed.

Here's a list of topics we'll cover:
