We’re shining the light on hidden gems — rarities you can’t try anywhere else\, cask-strength expressions straight from barrel to bottle\, limited-edition releases\, brand-new products on the market\, you name it. But it’s also affordable\, one of the best deals out there for the true whisk(e)y lover.” \nTickets to the 7th Annual “Premier Drams” whisk(e)y festival are $145/person (plus tax/service charge)\, which includes tastings at each whiskey station\, plus craft cocktails\, hors d’oeuvres and more. Tickets can be booked through Tock. \nAnd guests can pre-game the big festival the night before\, with its annual a “Premier Drams Kickoff” party on Saturday\, October 10 from 5-8pm at its neighboring bar CARLA. For just $49/person\, enjoy cocktails\, exclusive Jack Rose single barrels\, passed hors d’oeuvres\, live music & good vibes. \nWhile mixing and mingling with fellow whiskey lovers\, guests can also enjoy first access to the bottle shop ahead of the Premier Drams tasting event.
