Step into the rickhouse without leaving town and taste the mashbills that built bourbon history.

On Wednesday, September 17, Bourbon Women California and Sazerac present Mashbill to Masterpiece—a one-night, two-coast tasting experience happening simultaneously in Northern California at Bacchus Wine & Spirits and in Southern California at The Chestnut Club.

You’ll explore Buffalo Trace Distillery’s rich history, learn about their signature mashbills (low-rye bourbon, high-rye bourbon, wheated bourbon, and rye whiskey), and taste two expressions from each. Along the way, Sazerac’s experts will share the craftsmanship, process, and flavor stories behind every pour.

What to Expect:

  • Welcome cocktail to kick off the night

  • Guided tasting:
    NorCal: Unique pours + artisan cheese & charcuterie pairing with Todd at Bacchus Wine & Spirits

  • Expert-led storytelling with Q&A

  • Fun photo ops and networking with local bourbon lovers

  • Small-group, interactive experience

 

🎟 $35BW Members | $45 Non-Members | $110 Bundle (includes 1-year BW Membership)
