July 21, Chicago
Last night (July 21), members of the team from Laws Whiskey House, the award-winning, grain-to-glass distillery in Denver, Colo., hosted an in-person tasting and experiential masterclass at Warehouse Liquors in downtown Chicago.
The evening began with signature cocktails, light bites from Eataly and mingling, followed by an engaging presentation from the brand. Barrel Manager James Kunz and Senior Brand Ambassador Casey Rizzo explained the brand's history, ethos, and distilling and barreling process to a roomful of local bar directors, whiskey aficionados, and members of the media. Josh Cody of Colorado Malting Company rounded out the panel, discussing Colorado grains, terroir and Laws Whiskey House's commitment to sustainability, supporting small family farms, and creating exceptional Bottled in Bond whiskey.
Afterwards, the group moved on to the main event—a guided tasting of select Laws whiskeys: the flagship Four Grain Bourbon and San Luis Valley Rye, as well as the 2022 bottled in bond 8-year Bourbon and 7-year Rye and the 2022 bottled in bond Centennial Wheat Whiskey. Attendees learned the essential steps of tasting whiskey, including prepping the palate, smelling, tasting, and identifying tasting notes. To conclude the evening, the Laws Whiskey House team passed around special surprise samples of their aged cask-strength Malt whiskey, bottled at 130 proof.
This was the second in a series of regional pop-ups the brand has begun to connect with key markets across the country, and was an appropriate lead-up for Chicago whiskey-lovers headed to Whiskies of the World Chicago on Saturday, July 23.
