Whiskey Business: Sample More than 100 Whiskeys in Royal Oak
Take your whiskey-loving tastebuds on an exploration to discover favorite distilled spirits from around the globe.
If you somehow haven’t noticed, whiskey - (or ‘whisky’, if you’re referring to whiskies distilled in Scotland and Canada) – is having a boom in popularity these days, mostly due to a renewed fervor for American, local and small-batch products. American whiskey is currently experiencing a growth rate similar to vodka, and some small-batch U.S. distilleries are even anticipating bourbon shortages in the coming months.
Time to take action!
Come to Whiskey Business at the Royal Oak Farmer’s Market on Friday, Nov. 8, where you’ll be able to taste your share of over 100 whiskeys from around the world.
