FAT, FLAVOR & ALCHEMY: A Beginner's Guide to Fat Washing

Join Dr. Blair Dodson of Barblairian Labs for an interactive cocktail workshop exploring one of the most surprising techniques in modern cocktail making: fat washing.

We'll taste and compare a series of bourbons transformed using different fats, explore the science behind flavor extraction, and discover how aroma, texture, and perception shape what we taste.

The evening includes:

🥃 Guided blind tasting of multiple bourbons

🧈 Live brown butter fat washing demonstration

🦆 Exploration of additional fat wash styles

🍸 Signature cocktail featuring a fat-washed spirit

🧪 Cocktail science, flavor chemistry, and sensory exploration

No science background required.
Curiosity encouraged.
