He will lead a program of barrel-aged and full-flavored favorites from Finzi, Weber, Vaughan Williams, Strauss II, and more. As you savor the musical selections, you will savor a tasting of spirits Forbes called “one of the most exciting new distilleries in the world” and Whisky Advocate named as one of the Top 20 Whiskies of 2019.
