Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating craftsmanship, community, and Kentucky tradition, Bourbon Women style. Hosted by Ali Clark of End of Days Distillery and Mary Pogue of The Old Pogue Distillery, this intimate event brings together two powerhouse women in whiskey for an experience you’ll savor from the first sip to the last story.
The event begins with mingling over a signature welcome cocktail, End of Days Distillery’s “Blush & Barrel,” made with their signature bourbon, strawberry syrup, St. Germain, lemon, and cava—before a behind-the-scenes distillery tour. You’ll explore the science and art behind End of Days’ process, from grain to glass, concluding with an overview of their award-winning whiskey program.
Then, settle in as Mary Pogue shares the incredible legacy of Old Pogue—a Kentucky bourbon brand with more than a century of heritage—followed by a guided tasting flight featuring both distilleries’ finest spirits:
EoD Survivor’s Cut Bourbon—Wilmington’s first legally produced bourbon since Prohibition, with deep, mature character shaped by coastal climate and craft.
EoD Survivor’s Cut Rye—Bold yet smooth, with spice and caramel notes that reflect both time and temperature.
EoD Survivor’s Cut Whiskey—A distinctive blend finished in rum casks for a touch of tropical sweetness and oak warmth.
Old Pogue Master’s Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky—A small-batch 91-proof classic, faithfully recreated from a bottle that’s been in the Pogue family for generations.
EoD Select Cask Surprise—A special selection handpicked by Ali, offered exclusively for Bourbon Women guests.
Light bites from from local favorites, including Pizettas and Seabird will be provided.
We’ll also be raffling off two $25 Cape Fear Seafood gift cards—just drop your name in the fishbowl at check-in for a chance to win!
After the formal tasting, the bar will remain open for additional pours, and End of Days bottles will be available for purchase to take home your favorites.
