Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
We asked a guy out to Morton’s Steakhouse last month. Our socially awkward invite: “You wanna eat some meat?” Poor sap. If he’d only said yes, we would’ve followed it up with, “You wanna drink some booze?” and taken him to the lecture/tasting “Bourbon: The Journey From Barrel to Bottle.”
A bourbon expert will have you discriminating and inhaling the various family recipes of Baker’s, Basil Hayden’s, Booker’s, and Knob Creek. While imbibing, you’ll undoubtedly learn that bourbon’s birthright is steeped in the blood of the 1791 “Whiskey Rebellion” and that in 1964, an act of Congress declared the golden liquid “America’s Native Spirit.”
