Upcoming Mix It Up at the Moon classes and participating spirit brands include:
- SIPSMITH GIN
Wednesday, August 10 — 5:30 p.m.
Sipsmith Gin is the first copper pot distillery to open in London since 1820, producing London Dry Gin with signature juniper flavors that are naturally imparted during the distillation process. Known for making spirits by hand in small batches with a one-shot distilling technique, Sipsmith Gin has earned international acclaim as Wimbledon’s first official gin partner.
- OLD FORESTER
Wednesday, September 14 — 5:30 p.m.
Based in Louisville, Ky., Old Forester is a pioneering company in the bourbon industry with numerous historic “firsts” to its name. In 1870, Old Forester became the first company to sell bourbon in sealed bottles, not barrels. The company went on to make history with the first double barreled bourbon in 1910, the first single barrel bourbon in the industry in 1962 and the first vintage-dated bourbon in the industry with its Old Forester Birthday Bourbon named in honor of founder George Garvin Brown.
- RHOOT MAN BEVERAGE COMPANY & TITO’S HANDMADE VODKA
Wednesday, October 19 — 5:30 p.m.
Savannah’s own Rhoot Man Beverage Company offers a popular line of shrubs, or all-natural beverage enhancers that pair perfectly with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, which is produced at the oldest legal distillery in Texas. Tito’s uses old-fashioned pot stills to batch distill “America’s Original Craft Vodka.” The corn-based, naturally gluten-free vodka was named the unanimous winner at the San Francisco World Spirit Championship and earned four stars from Spirit Journal.
- WOODINVILLE WHISKEY CO.
Wednesday, November 16 — 5:30 p.m.
Located 30 minutes from Seattle, Washington, Woodinville Whiskey Co. uses only the highest quality grains, all grown in Washington State, in a true grain-to-glass approach to whiskey.

Fenske has wide range of food and beverage industry experience, from working at private clubs in California to playing a key role at Empire Distributors in Atlanta.
- WYOMING WHISKEY
Wednesday, December 14 — 5:30 p.m.
Co-founder David DeFazio will present Wyoming’s namesake whiskey, made from non-GMO Wyoming grains and matured in the most unique maturation environment in the bourbon world.
