Meet the Maker's Mark family and discover how their quest would change an entire industry forever.

Bill Samuels, Sr.'s journey to create Maker's Mark began with his only copy of the family's trusted, 170-year-old recipe. The one the sixth-generation distiller promptly set on fire, of course. Through ingenuity, patience, and a determined taste vision, Bill not only reinvented the family whisky, he and his collaborator, Margie, also revolutionized an industry and replaced the hot bite of rye with the delicate sweetness that Maker's is known for today.

When his son took over as president in 1975, his father's only words of advice to Bill Samuels, Jr. were "Don't screw up the whisky." Bill, Jr. has honored that wish while displaying a flair for innovation. Like his father, Bill, Jr. made his mark on the family legacy and the bourbon industry in 2010 with Maker's 46 , the brand's first new major product in over 50 years.

Three couples are invited to a private, custom barrel blending experience with Bill Samuels, Jr. and his son, Rob Samuels, now at the helm of the distillery, as they guide you through the history of their family while making your mark on a perfectly blended bourbon. The Brown Hotel, a Louisville legend, is your home for three nights while Bill and Rob Samuels treat you to some Southern hospitality.

Do you remember the first time you ate a nacho? For Chef Scott Schwartz, it was at age 7 in San Antonio, TX on a family trip to the Lone Star state. "Tex-Mex" cuisine was born from the blending of indigenous Mexican and the Northern European cuisines of pioneers and ranchers to the region. At its very essence, Tex-Mex is borderland home cooking. It is a comfort food that is distinctly American: diverse, bold and resourceful.

Before opening El Jefe, in Jacksonville, FL, Schwartz made a pilgrimage back to Texas in order to seek out the best of Tex-Mex. Upon his return, he and his compadre, Chef Jose Solome, set to work to recreate the iconic dishes unique to the border of Texas and Mexico. The end result is the true flavor of Texas-big-hearted, vibrant and fiery.

If you want a taste of this authentic Tex-Mex cuisine prepared by "el jefe" himself, this is the perfect lot for you. Tequila lovers rejoice, this special tasting menu includes perfect tequila pairings!

This lot includes:

• Chef's tasting menu dinner with tequila pairings for six (6) guests prepared by Chef Scotty Schwartz at El Jefe restaurant in Jacksonville, FL

Restrictions: This offer is subject to availability and some blackout dates may apply. Expires April 30, 2020.
