Whiskey Crusaders

We are the Whiskey Crusaders! We review whiskies from around the world such as Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, Japanese, American, Irish, Canadian, Taiwanese, Indian and many others. We give nosing and tasting notes so that when you are on the whiskey aisle you can make an informed decision. This will help you to know the flavor profiles you enjoy so that you can explore new whiskies and join us on our crusade to share and visit as many whiskies as possible. We will be going on whiskey crusades to distilleries to meet the actual people who make the magic that all of us enjoy so much and to interview people in the industry to share their passion for whiskey with us.


Whiskey Crusaders

Join the Whiskey Crusaders on Friday February 13, 2026 at 7pm for a Four Roses Study Hall. This will be our first type of class where we ask everyone to bring study guides with them aka your favorite Four Roses or any other things you want to study with the class. We can go as in depth as you guys like, have in class presentations, build community, and simply help each other study. This class is suitable for all levels of whisky experience from beginner to advanced.


Expressions for study will depend on what other students bring with them as well as discussions around

We are hoping Bryan Adams can keep old man winter away this weekend till at least after the Masterclass on Saturday night at 7pm at the Whiskey Castle on January 24th. We do have a contingency plan to reschedule the same amazing class to January 31st if that white mix shows up all over the place.

We won't know till at least late Friday or early Saturday what old man winter has in store for us though so stay tuned and tickets are still available and it's going to be quite the show regardless of when it takes place. If you guys have a preference for the date to be changed or ride it out let me know too.
