WESTWOOD, N.J.—The Friends of the Library invite local adults to a virtual whiskey tasting on Friday, April 23 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
“Whiskey Smackdown” features resident and whiskey educator Robin Robinson reviving his long-running class of the same name, a comparison among two Scotches and two bourbons, with participants determining which is best.
Robinson is the author of “The Complete Whiskey Course: A Comprehensive Tasting School in Ten Classes,” considered by Whiskey Advocate “A must-read for aspiring connoisseurs, and a thorough refresher for seasoned whisky lovers,” and by BookAuthority “One of the best whiskey books of all time.”
This 21 and older event is online and will include eight tastings of four whiskeys—you’ll get samples suitable for one to three people, provided by Super Cellars of Westwood.
Also included: a custom chocolate courtesy of Conrad’s Confectionery, other treats from Trader Joe’s, and prizes from P. J. Finnegan’s and Prohibition.
Tickets are $100 per Zoom invite. Buy your tickets at westwoodpubliclibrary.org.
All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Westwood Library, a 501(c)3 organization whose mission to support the Westwood Library makes possible many library programs as well as free local access to such databases as Ancestry.com, Udemy, and Kanopy.
