Call it the pre-game show for Saturday’s Whiskey in the Winter Festival.
We are, of course, referring to the VIP Whiskey Dinner at the new Gamlin Whiskey House in the CWE. Owners Derek and Lucas Gamlin are co-hosting the event on Thursday, November 21, two days prior to Whiskey in the Winter (which Relish chronicled here and here).
Speaking at the event will be co-hosts Dave Pudlo, Maker’s Mark Distillery Education Director, and Adam Harris, Jim Beam Bourbon Ambassador.
