February 23rd, join us for an immersive master class with our favorite barkeep, Joshua Perry, at the historic Cooper-Molera Adobe from 6–8pm.

We’ll begin with courtyard bites, then settle in to sip a curated flight while exploring mash bills, whiskey styles, key terms like “single barrel” and “small batch,” and how to truly read a whiskey bottle.

Expand your palate and deepen your appreciation for one of the world’s most nuanced spirits.

21+ event.
