Join Bourbon Women for a special book club evening celebrating The Last Twelve Miles, a gripping Prohibition-era novel inspired by the legendary liquor smuggler Cleo Lythgoe.

We are honored to welcome Erika Robuck, who will share the history, research, and storytelling behind the novel, alongside Dina Coker, owner of Lythgoe Bourbon. Dina will lead a guided tasting of the bourbon created in tribute to Cleo’s bold legacy bringing the story to life through the glass.

✨ Special Surprise: One lucky participant will receive a signed copy of The Last Twelve Miles, personally sent by Erika Robuck—an exclusive keepsake from an unforgettable evening.

This is an immersive experience where literature meets libation, celebrating a remarkable woman, her story, and the spirit she inspired.
