Whisky Chicks Craft Distillers Tasting
So explains the Whisky Chicks’ website and I swear I can’t find a thing to argue about with a “Who We Are” statement like that! The Whisky Chicks was founded by Linda Ruffenach and are in their third year. They held their first Craft Distiller’s Tasting this past Tuesday at Westport Whiskey and Wine.
The store, which is in the Westport Village Shopping Center has a tasting room in the back with a well-equipped bar and enough room for about 25 or 30 people. Everything was laid back, but professional and you just couldn’t help but learn something fascinating about bourbon. Linda told me that it is their mission to introduce women to bourbon in all it’s history, mystery and iterations.
This event featured three very new bourbons in the area: Rabbit Hole Distillery, Starlight Distillery, and Jeptha Creed distillery. Each company brought two of their expressions and their master distillers gave a guided tour through the creation, distillation mechanics, and future plans for the brands.
I think you could do worse for the woman in your life than to introduce her to the finer points of bourbon among a group of great folks like I met Tuesday night. Start by contacting them through their website: http://whiskychicks.com/
