Home to one of the largest whisk(e)y collection in the Western Hemisphere, we are hosting our second annual whiskey festival: “Premier Drams” – a celebration of cask strength, new and rare. This is “not your typical whisk(e)y festival” -- this day-long tasting will feature 15+ curated stations of unique bourbons, ryes, scotches and international whisk(e)ys, plus blind tastings, craft cocktails, distiller meet-and-greets and more from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

All three floors will play host to the massive festival, inviting hundreds of whiskey lovers near and far to taste oddities reaching beyond the basic bottles found on liquor store shelves. Distillers such as Kentucky’s Willett and KY Peerless will bring special barrel picks while cask-strength single malts from Exclusive Malts, Single Cask Nation and Glenfiddich will take guests through some of Scotland’s best distilleries. Attendees can also explore the world through whisk(e)y, with tastings of international expressions hailing from Japan and India.

Our award-winning bar team will create specially crafted whiskey cocktails for guests, and hors d’oeuvres will be passed throughout the afternoon.

Tickets are $125/person, which includes tastings at each whiskey station, plus craft cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a souvenir Glencairn glass and more.
