The Bistro dinner was great. Only downside was I had to drive to Bardstown afterward! We finished off an amazing Old Crow bottling plus too many other good things to mention.
The cocktail party Friday night resulted in a pitcher of Brooklyn Cocktails (Van Winkle rye, Amer Picon, Chambery dry vermouth, Maraska maraschino), John Lippman's Kentucky Kiss, Van Brunts with Red Hook Rye, and some Sazeracs made with Red Hook Rye #1 and true distilled absinthe, plus many other old treats like Braddock 19 yr rye, Cabin Still Ducks Unlimited decanter, and many more. The Colonel's Cottage where we stayed this time right behind Toddy's was SO charming that I highly recommend it. Even Guthrie stopped by after work (he hated the Charbay whiskey which was fine with me and Drew cuz meant more for us.)
Gathering with folks who just make you want to pull out all the good stuff is so much fun, ain't it!
