Land Free Whiskey Seminars and Tastes at Vom Fass

Like whiskey? Vom Fass, the specialty food boutique at the Grand Canal Shoppes, now has a free whiskey experience event every Thursday, Friday and Saturday starting at 7 p.m. Guests can take a 45-minute class to learn about whiskey, including the differences between Scotches, Irish whiskeys and bourbons.

Those who attend taste a bourbon, an Irish whiskey and two Scotches. The mini-course also touches on different types of Scotch, blends, single malts and the regions that create these spirits.

Owner Kim Weiss promises that each class is a little different.

The boutique carries casks of spirits, all estate grown and most from fifth generation producers. Wines, vinegars, oils and spirits are all sold in re-fillable bottles poured from the casks.

While reservations are not required, guests can find out which whiskeys will be highlighted on Vom Fass’ Facebook page.
