Good whiskey.
Better understanding.

Discover what’s in your glass—and why you like it. We’re developing small-group experiences built around whiskey, conversation, and the stories behind the bottles.

Western Whiskey Workshop — Whiskey Tastings, Cocktail Classes, Private Events
A little curiosity. A good conversation.

Pull up a chair

You don’t need a collection—or a vocabulary full of tasting notes—to enjoy a whiskey class. Bring your questions.

Whiskey tastings · Cocktail classes · Private events

Something worth
getting together for.

Thoughtful experiences, shared discoveries, and plenty of room for conversation.

Whiskey tastings

Guided comparisons that connect what you taste with how whiskey is made. Explore different styles, learn how to approach a glass, and discover more about your own preferences.

Our first experience in development

Cocktail classes

Explore the balance and technique behind a well-made drink. Planned workshops will bring practical ideas, a little experimentation, and fresh confidence to your home bar.

Planned for a future chapter

Private experiences

A shared experience for friends, celebrations, and teams, with a subject worth talking about. Formats and availability will follow the first pilot classes.

Future offering

Inside the tasting

Slow down.
Notice a little more.

The format we’re developing makes space for discovery. No one else gets to decide what your favorite whiskey should taste like.

  1. Explore.

    Meet the styles and stories behind the selection. Get to know the ingredients, places, and choices that shape a whiskey.

  2. Compare.

    Take your time with the aromas and flavors. Notice what changes from one glass to the next—and what catches your attention.

  3. Discuss.

    Ask questions, share impressions, and leave with a clearer sense of what you enjoy. There’s room for every palate at the table.

The person behind the workshop

Meet Harley.

Western Whiskey Workshop begins with Harley Denio’s passion for whiskey and for sharing what makes it interesting.

The idea is simple: turn that enthusiasm into welcoming classes where people can learn, ask questions, and enjoy the discovery together.

Based in Canby, the workshop is being developed one thoughtful experience at a time.

For local venue partners

Your space.
A shared experience.

We’re exploring partnerships with local bars for small-group whiskey classes. The concept brings guided education together with the hospitality of a local venue, with event details developed together.

If that sounds like a good fit for your space, let’s start a conversation.

Talk about a partnership

A few good questions

Curious already?

Do I need to know anything about whiskey?

No prior knowledge is needed. The experience is being designed for curious beginners and enthusiasts alike, with approachable explanations and plenty of time for questions.

When and where will classes begin?

We’re developing the tasting format and exploring local venue partnerships. Dates, locations, prices, and booking details will be announced as the first events come together. Public bookings are not open yet.

Will private events be available?

Private experiences for friends, celebrations, and corporate groups are part of the longer-term plan. Formats and availability will follow the first pilot classes. You’re welcome to email Harley to share what you have in mind.
