Bourbon & Bounty

On February 15, friends of Garden & Gun gathered at the magazine’s Charleston headquarters for an intimate Southern supper prepared by celebrated chefs Cheetie Kumar, Jason Stanhope, and Matt Bolus. Presented in partnership with Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the evening kicked off with a cocktail hour featuring Blade and Bow bourbon cocktails, live music, and a cozy cigar lounge courtesy of Brumbaugh’s Fine Home Furnishings—followed by a four-course meal consisting of innovative dishes inspired by the land, sea, and sky.
