Distilled Launch Party

Garden & Gun kicked off the week’s G&G Distilled events on the lawn of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery for a cocktail party hosted by G&G editor in chief David DiBenedetto. Guests enjoyed Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey cocktails and live music from Brother Smith and The Local Honeys while shopping curated goods from Kentucky makers. Food stations by chef Lawrence Weeks of North of Bourbon and Ensō showcased his unique Creole and Cajun roots, alongside cocktails from mixologist Em Sego.
