Bourbons are set to include Elijah Craig Small Batch, Elijah Craig Straight Rye, Larceny Very Special Small Batch, Rittenhouse Rye 100, Evan Williams 1783 and Evan Williams White Label.
Guests can attend the event in person at the shop or online via Zoom. Participating via Zoom entails picking up samples of each of the six bourbons at the wine-and-spirits shop before the tasting takes place.
Both attendance options are $50 a person; advance reservations are required.
