Bourbon Heritage Dinner 2025

In September, G&G and Louisville Tourism celebrated Bourbon Heritage Month at world-renowned whiskey bar Jack Rose Dining Saloon in Washington, D.C. The event began on the rooftop with Old Forester cocktails, then continued in the dining room with tastings led by distiller Caleb Trigo and a Kentucky-inspired meal prepared by Louisville chef Dallas McGarity of The Fat Lamb.
