Join Bourbon Women North Carolina for an unforgettable Whiskey Forum at Revival 1869, hosted by the engaging Kennedy Kerr and Revival 1869’s owner Mike Stojic! This isn’t your average whiskey tasting; it’s a lively “talk about it and drink about it” experience that will deepen your appreciation for every sip. 

Explore whiskey’s rich history, traditions, and the nuances of mash bills and char levels. This isn’t just learning—it’s savoring and discussing every element. Kick off with a guided nosing, where you’ll pick up expert tips on enhancing aromatics and detecting subtle notes. Then, dive into tasting, where you’ll get to share what you’re experiencing on the palate. It’s all about discovery—no two palates are alike, and there’s no right or wrong answer, so everyone’s insights add to the fun!

You’ll enjoy one-ounce pours of Blue Run Reflections 1, WhistlePig Piggyback Alpha Romeo, and Uncle Nearest 1856, each paired with artisanal chocolate from Escazu, a woman-owned chocolatier in Raleigh. Sip, savor, and experience whiskey in a whole new way. Cocktails will also be available for purchase, making this evening one to remember.

With experience spanning from NASA internships to senior engineering in nuclear facilities, Kennedy is a driven leader and a dedicated expert. Her attention to detail and curiosity led her to discover a passion for bourbon, which she pursued at Revival 1869.
