Item Description
The winning bidder and 9 friends will enjoy an evening of sampling various expressions of Bourbons, specially selected by certified Bourbon steward, Matthew Evans, at Longfield Farm in Prospect, KY. This thoughtfully curated experience will pair five different expressions of bourbon each with it's own complimentary small bite food sample. Following the hour or so of tasting, hors d'oeuvres from La Peche and cocktails will be served in the garden, giving guests the opportunity to socialize, ask more questions and wander the extensive grounds at Longfield Farm.
One of the best ways to learn about spirits is to taste, taste, taste. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a relative newbie to the world of American Whiskey, you are sure to walk away with a newfound appreciation for one of Kentucky's biggest economic drivers and to potentially add a few new bottles to your home bar.
