SUMMARY:Underground Whiskey Tasting - featuring George Dickel Distillery
DESCRIPTION:A tasting with Nicole Austin in the underground Mega Cavern! \nBorn 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. \nDickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest\, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus\, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County\, George Dickel bought a large share. \n\nOur presenter will be General Manager and Distiller\, Nicole Austin. \nNicole earned a degree in chemical engineering\, then began her career in environmental engineering. One night\, a bartender poured her a whiskey & started talking about how it was made. She listened to the bartender talk about whiskey for the rest of the night. This led to her career in the distilling business. \nSince joining the Cascade Hollow team in 2018\, she’s been instrumental in the latest innovations – including George Dickel Bottled in Bond Distilling\, Dickel Bourbon\, the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Rye Blend and Cascade Moon Whisky series. \nIf you ask Nicole what’s one thing she wants people to know about Tennessee whiskey\, she’ll say “It’s bourbon!” \n\nOur event will take place in an old limestone mine\, known as the Mega Cavern. \nA few interesting facts: \n\nThe cavern was mined from the 1930’s to the early 1970’s.\nThe mine extends below the Louisville Zoo\, and also goes under all 10 lanes of the Watterson Expressway (I-264).\nThe temperature in the Mega Cavern is 58 degrees year round.\n\nOf course we’ll have tasty food and awesome door prizes\, as always. \nThe Bourbon Brotherhood is a monthly gathering of men who enjoy bourbon and camaraderie. You must be 21+ to attend this event. Please drink responsibly.
