Jack Rose: 7th Annual Whisk(e)y Festival “Premier Drams”
2026-10-11 12:00 - 16:00
Jack Rose 🌹 is holding their 7th Premier Drams Whisk(e)y Festival on 🗓️ Sunday October 11thfrom 12-4pm. Tickets are on sale now for $174/person.
👉 Early Bird Tickets are $125 with code EARLYBIRD through August 31**.**
This is without a doubt the best whiskey festival outside of Kentucky 🔥 and is better than most of the ones in KY. I highly recommend getting tickets early as it will sell out.
They basically takeover all three floors of Jack Rose and it’s sister restaurant next door and have tons of tasting tables from many of the major brands. You get a chance to tray a ton of great whiskey including many limited releases. But what is the coolest is a lot of the people pouring the tastings are the people behind the brands. Last year people pouring included Drew from Willett, Pablo from Rare Character, Bill Binder of Binder’s Stash, Pat and Shane of Wilderness Trail, Blake from Seelbach’sand even Fawn from Uncle Nearest was there pouring… although I highly doubt she will be there this year.
They always have a bunch of special releases there each year for purchase in their bottle shop. As well, there is lots of great food. This is well worth the price of admission imo.
