Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be more events Premier Drams weekend?
Yes! Stay tuned for more details. Look forward to happy hours, cocktail events, and specially-priced Jack Rose Single Barrels during Premier Drams weekend.
Will a full list of featured whiskeys and rare pours be released before the event?
No — BUT that's part of the fun. Our distillery partners are asked to bring expressions that are new, cask-strength or limited-release, meaning much of what gets poured is a surprise even to us. You can find the running list of confirmed participating distilleries here. A tasting map will be released on this site prior to the event.
Will food be available during the event?
Yes. Hearty passed hors d'oeuvres and stationary platters will be available throughout the event, including vegetarian options.
We’re unable to accommodate additional dietary restrictions. Common allergens will be labeled.
Will there be other options besides whiskey?
Yes. A limited selection of non-whiskey spirits, including agave and sugarcane spirits, will be available.
We’ll also have non-alcoholic refreshers available throughout the day.
Can a person that does not consumes alcohol attend as a plus one?
Yes. Reduced-price tickets are available for designated drivers and guests who do not consume alcohol, subject to availability.
These guests will receive a special wristband and may enjoy all food and non-alcoholic offerings throughout the event.
