Only a handful of tickets remain for the Balcones Masterclass & Dinner this Friday, July 31, so be sure to reserve your seats before this event sells out.

This is a truly rare opportunity to spend an evening with four of the most respected minds in the whiskey industry—Master Distiller Jared Himstedt, Blending Manager Gabe Richarde, Brand Experience Manager Alex Elrod, and National Brand Ambassador Charlie McRae—all together in one room. They will guide you through "Rhythms of Texas: An Experiment on Climate & Maturation," a fascinating masterclass that is seldom presented outside of the distillery.

Not only will you learn directly from the team that created these whiskies, but you'll also taste each expression alongside them, ask questions, and experience firsthand how climate and maturation shape the final spirit. Pair that with an incredible ranch-to-table dinner prepared by Chef Dwight of Outpost 36, and you have an evening that simply cannot be replicated.

Don't miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable experience. Purchase your tickets using the link below before the remaining seats are gone.

If you enjoyed Dr. Don Livermore's masterclass a couple of weeks ago, then you're going to love what we have planned this Friday. This will be every bit as educational, but with an even deeper dive into the science of whiskey. It's going to be incredibly fun, incredibly nerdy, and unlike almost any class you'll ever have the opportunity to attend.

Tickets are already over half sold out, so don't wait if you plan on joining us. This is one of those rare experiences that you simply won't find again.

For nearly four years, Balcones conducted an ambitious series of climate and maturation experiments, aging whiskey in different environments throughout Texas and around the world to study how temperature, humidity, and location influence maturation and flavor. These experiments were never intended to become a touring masterclass and have almost never been presented outside the walls of the distillery.

What makes this evening even more extraordinary is that the very people responsible for creating these whiskies will be at the Whiskey Castle to guide us through them. Joining us are Master Distiller Jared Himstedt, Blending Manager Gabe RiCharde, Brand Experience Manager Alex Elrod, and National Brand Ambassador Charlie McRae. Having all four of these individuals together in one room to teach, answer questions, and share the stories behind these whiskies is something that whiskey enthusiasts rarely, if ever, get to experience.

As if that weren't enough, Chef Dwight from Outpost 36 will be preparing an authentic ranch-to-table Texas dinner using livestock raised on his own ranch. Pairing one of the most innovative whiskey programs in America with one of Texas' finest ranch-to-table dining experiences makes this an evening unlike anything we've hosted before.
