Whiskey lovers, mark your calendars.
The Twisted Tail’s Whiskey Bonanza is set for Thursday, Sept. 25, and will feature more than 100 whiskeys, a cocktail competition featuring local talent, a southern pig roast, live music and much more. It’s all meant to celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month (September) by offering guests access to “a smorgasbord of whiskeys”—a lot of which will be used by some of the area’s top bartenders in original cocktails for attendees to vote on in a cocktail competition.
The whiskey can be paired with slow-cooked fare from Deke’s BBQ and live New Orleans-style jazz and Blues piano music from Reverend Chris. And for those who enjoy a smoke with their whiskey, The Twisted Tail is also introducing a highly aerated cigar lounge in the form of a fully revamped Airstream parked right outside of the restaurant.
There’s a special VIP hour with early admission at 6 p.m., enabling access to “rare and hard-to-find whiskeys” not available during the main event, more one-on-one time with distillery representatives, plus the opportunity to enjoy the Pig Roast first. Otherwise, the Bonanza will continue on with general admission from 7 to 10 p.m., with tastings happening around the two-floor venue.
Tickets for the Whiskey Bonanza are $65 for general admission and $85 for VIP, with a $40 Designated Driver option also available.
The Twisted Tail is located at 509 S 2nd St. For information or to purchase tickets, visit thetwistedtail.com
