Breck Taylor, Master of Whisky for Diageo, has always been driven to learn about how things came about, how they work, and to talk about his findings with others. Fascinated by the whisky world’s rich history and heritage, he has an extensive background in the world of distilled spirits. He worked for several years as a brewer, mixologist, staff trainer, spirits educator, and Assistant Beverage Manager for a large Pacific Northwest brewpub and hotel chain. When Breck is not talking or teaching others about whisky, he can oftentimes be found enjoying another one of his passions: fly fishing for salmon, trout, and steelhead in the lovely rivers & streams of the Pacific Northwest. He also enjoys cooking, cinema, & spending time with his family and pets.
Breck will be here to share with us a very special experience, in which we will taste & observe the influence of ‘finishes’ to scotch. ‘Finishing’ Scotch Whisky in a Sherry, Port or even Madeira barrel is now a somewhat established practice but rarely discussed in depth. In this unique session we will taste several Distiller’s Edition expressions from the Diageo portfolio, paired with the corresponding ‘finish’. Light bites will also be provided by our kitchen to complement the taste profiles of the selected spirits. Following the tasting and lively round table discussion, we welcome you to stay at the Library and spend time at our fireplace for an additional dram or two.
