Every Friday

Up the stairs, behind the old wooden doors, you’ll find The Bradstreet — once the family study, now a hidden den where shadows linger and fine spirits pour.

Join us every Friday from 6:30-9 for complimentary whiskey and bourbon tastings in the Bradstreet, our second floor Speakeasy.

Join us for an immersive evening honoring one of the most extraordinary women in 

American spirits history.

This is not just a tasting. This is not just a history lesson. This is a story of reinvention.

Through heavy appetizers and a curated four-course cocktail experience (optional add-on), we’ll walk through the chapters of Mary Dowling’s life:

Her early years and immigration

Building a Kentucky distillery empire

Restructuring the company after her husband’s death

Outsmarting Prohibition by moving operations to Mexico

Her legacy as a fierce advocate for fair treatment of workers — including people of color during the rise of the KKK

Her lasting impact as a woman who refused to shrink

This is an inclusive experience.  You do not need to drink alcohol to attend. 

This evening is for bourbon lovers, history buffs, women in business, entrepreneurs, supporters of inclusive hospitality, and anyone who appreciates bold leadership in impossible times.

- Heavy, elevated appetizers throughout the evening

- Storytelling presentation in sections

- Samplings of Mary Dowling products

- Optional 4-Cocktail Add-On
