As Mark Twain once put it, "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough."
If you love bourbon, get ready to raise your paddles high. This exclusive tasting for up to four (4) people is an experience you don't want to miss! Your evening of fine whiskey will take place in a state-of-the-art climate-controlled wine and spirits cellar entirely handcrafted with 200 to 1200 year old redwood, where you will find a 4 ft. grazing board piled high with an irresistible selection of charcuterie, smoked salmon, cheese, crudités, dips and spreads. Surrounded by a highly curated collection of vintage and allocated spirits, you and your guests will be given an exclusive opportunity to sample the rarest and most highly sought after whiskeys the world has to offer.
