One not so great item… we weren’t able to reach minimum numbers of reservations for our Louisiana Bistreaux tasting this Thursday, August 27. That event has been regrettably cancelled; if you were one of the few with a reservation, that will be refunded. The district governor’s reception is unaffected. But the whiskey event is on!
We are pleased to begin accepting preliminary whiskey donations. We will, of course, take any sort of donation. But because this is a tasting event, we are looking at a fairly targeted list similar to last year. The specific labels are below. We’re also looking for a signature bottle to include in a special, on-site raffle! This could include labels like the Whistle Pig Boss Hog (similar to last year), any of the antique collection from Buffalo Trace (Pappy Van Winkle, Sazerac 18yr, Thomas Hardy Rye, and William Larue Weller), or the Forrester Birthday Bourbon as a few examples. Please let us know if you have any questions and stay tuned for more details! We will provide a preliminary list of whiskeys we're looking for in next week's bulletin.
