"The Grower & The Distiller", J. Henry & 45th Parallel Masterclass

  • Gold Eagle Wine & Spirits 255 Peterson Road Libertyville, Illinois, 60048 United States (map)

Join us on Tuesday, June 23rd, from 6-7:30PM for a private tasting with "The Grower & The Distiller", J. Henry & 45th Parallel Distillery. This will be a super unique collaboration event. J. Henry has mastered the art of farming and growing corn, which they've been doing for multiple generations. 45th Parallel was one of the first 50 craft distilleries in the U.S.  when they opened back in 2007 and is set up to make their own whiskey along with contract distilling. Since the start of J. Henry, they have partnered with 45th Parallel to distill all of their whiskey. They use J. Henry's proprietary grains, yeast strains, mashbills, and guidance to produce the whiskey, which is then handed back to J. Henry as new make and aged at the J. Henry farm. 45th Parallel on the other hand, knows a thing or two about distillation and maturation. As one of the oldest craft distilleries in the country they've got incredible experience and history. Representatives from both distilleries will be present to guide you through the session tasting a selection of 8 Whiskey's from both of the distilleries. We will start with a brief history of the distilleries and then walk everyone through a guided tasting.

Entry fee includes the hour-long tasting and presentation, a shared cheese board, pizza at the end, and access to discounted pricing on all the products in the tasting we have available.
