Join Master Distiller Ernest Scarano Jr. for an unforgettable whiskey tasting at the Ernest Scarano Distillery in Elmore, Ohio. In just 16 minutes, Ernest walks guests through six of his handcrafted spirits, each with its own story, flavor profile, and production secrets. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or curious newcomer, this guided tasting is packed with knowledge, personality, and a few laughs.

Featured Whiskeys:

Old Homicide (140 proof) – A bold, high-proof rye with rich vanilla, butterscotch, and oak layers. Best enjoyed with the “Rule of Twos.”

Exhibition Rye (100 proof, bonded) – Grassy and complex, aged four years, with a touch more barley for depth.

Clover Honey Whiskey (90 proof) – Made with locally-sourced spring clover honey, buttery smooth and subtly sweet.

Widmer Winter Rye – A seasonal rye aged during frigid winter months, known for its thick mouthfeel and smooth finish.

Whiskey Dick (130 proof) – A smoky, charcoal-aged whiskey with a delayed flavor punch—like campfire in a glass.

Lucidity (140 proof) – Unaged and right out of the still, this clear spirit is bold, fruity, and perfect for cocktails.

Ernest shares fascinating insights about distillation laws, barrel aging, and how subtle factors—from local honey to winter air—shape the final product. He also explains the art of sipping whiskey properly and what makes bonded whiskey special.
