This is not your Grandfather's whisky page. We're not connoisseurs, we're not going to pass judgement on how you take your whisky or lord sophisticated palettes and nose notes over you. We're just a bunch of whisky nerds that enjoy the depth of flavor, variety and versatility of one of the oldest libations around. We love, respect, and appreciate the wonderfulness that is whisky and want to share that appreciation with everyone who's willing to explore the vast world of distilled deliciousness.

Confused about some of the terms used in whisky production? We wanted to take a moment to clear up a few common Whisky misconceptions we've encountered throughout our journey...
- Bourbon does not need to be produced in Bourbon County to carry its name. Legally (yes, there's a law), a bourbon must contain at least 51% corn in its mashbill and must be aged in new, American Oak barrels. To be called a "straight" whisky, it must be aged for a minimum of 2 years.
- Single malt Scotch originates from a single distillery in Scotland (not a single grain). Blends, like Johnnie Walker source whiskies from multiple distilleries.
- Tennessee Whisky (like Jack Daniels) must come from TN and it goes through a filtration step known as the Lincoln County process, which filters the distillate through maple charcoal.
Hello Whisky Project people!! The time has come again! Our next event will be January 22nd from 8-11pm - official invites and theme to be announced. Save the date!!
Happy New Year to you all! 2015 was the Whisky Projects inaugural year. We've experimented with styles of delivery, explored new venues, had some incredible collaborations with performers and drank some fine whisky, and it all would have been nothing without your enthusiasm for the Project and the 'spirit' (pun intended). We can't thank you enough! We'll be kicking off the new year with another event the end of this month, so keep an eye out for your invite and get on the guest list early!
