On Friday, February 26th at 5:30pm we invite you to join us for a zoom tasting and discussion with Beverage Director and Ambassador, Sam Nelis from Caledonia Spirits in Montpelier, Vermont.  The three signature spirits to be tasted include the award winning Barr Hill gin, the aged Tom Cat Gin, and the Barr Hill Vodka which is made from 100% honey.  Sam will lead you through the finer points of spirit sampling, as well as the distilling process and the founding of this home-grown Vermont business. Jamie Franklin (Museum Curator), and Callie Raspuzzi (Collections Manager), will provide a brief introduction regarding the history of liquor in Vermont.

This event is offered exclusively to Monument Society members, free of charge. Monument Society members may invite any friends or family who are within your COVID quarantine bubble to share a screen with you for this event.
