On Monday, April 3rd, Michael Hack and myself are doing a fund raising event at the Bourbon's Bistro. It is a fund raiser for the Farnsley-Kaufman House in Southwest Jefferson County and will involve whiskey tasting and magical feats. The tickets are $50.00 a ticket with the profits going to help the Farnsley-Kaufman House to meet a $200,000.00 Save America's Treasures Grant.
The event will be held at the Bourbon's Bistro and they will provide appetisers and the waitstaff and glassware. We are going to taste every style of American Straight whiskey with the following products being featured:
Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond
Sazerac Rye
Berhaiem Wheat
Old Rip Van Winkle 10yo
Four Roses Single Barrel
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel
Michael Hack will be performing magic tricks with a whiskey theme in between and maybe even during the tasting. He is quite talented and amazing as though who were with at the Bistro before the Bourbon Festival will recall. It should be a good time and the money goes to a good cause. If you live in the area or are going to be in Louisville at that time, you can get your reservations by calling Bourbon's Bistro at (502)894-8838.
I want toi thank Michael Hack for agreeing to do this show with me. I also want to thank Larry Kass at Heaven Hill for the Mellow Corn and Bernheim Wheat, John Vereeke at Buffalo Trace for the Sazerac Rye, Julian Van Winkle for the Old Rip Van Winkle 10yo, Al Young at Four Roses for the Four Roses Single Barrel and Chris Morris for the Jack Daniel Single Barrel. These products were all donated to help keep cost down and profits for the Farnsley-Kaufman House to the maximum.
I hope to see some of you there.
Mike Veach
