Title: Whiskey: What It Is and How It Came to Be” 

Speaker: Kevin R. Kosar

 

 

Description:  Be it bourbon, rye, corn, Irish, or Scotch, whiskey has an infamous and celebrated history.  Kevin R. Kosar will discuss what whiskey is, how it is made, and how the types of whiskey differ.  He'll also explain the drink's history, from its obscure medieval origins as a sometimes lethal, herb-infused concoction to the high-quality, meticulously crafted liquor, globally traded product that it is today.
