Upcoming Event: Whiskey & Barrel-Aged Beer Tasting, Saturday, March 6th @ Amherst Coffee
This coming Saturday I’ll be leading a tasting at Amherst Coffee that I’m particularly excited about, given my appreciation for both beer and whiskey. The tasting will feature 4 whiskies, each paired with a beer that was aged in barrels from the same distillery. The stellar lineup includes both bourbons and scotches, and covers the gamut from bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts to Scotch whisky barrel-aged old ales.
Here’s the complete lineup:
- Elijah Craig 18-Year Bourbon & Weyerbacher Heresy Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
- Eagle Rare 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon & Mayflower Brewing Co. Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine
- Springbank 10-Year Scotch & Brewdog Paradox Springbank Whisky Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
- Highland Park 12-Year Scotch & Harviestoun Old Dubh Highland Park Whisky Barrel-Aged Old Ale
Holy cow. I want this tasting to be tonight. I’m very excited. All four of these are top-notch whiskies paired with absolutely top-notch, palate-bending barrel-aged beers.This will be a great event.
I hear that seats are running low. So if you’re interested, give them a buzz soon. Don’t miss it!

I just met you at workman’s circle, and I want to attend more tastings! Do you have any ideas for whiskey tastings in the boston area?
Glad you enjoyed the tasting! I’ve heard there’s some interest in a second tasting, so perhaps something will come of that.
Offhand, I don’t know of any upcoming tastings in the Boston area. Check out Federal Wine & Spirits in downtown Boston though. The whiskey expert there, Joe, holds occasional tastings that are very fun to attend.
