What:  A tour of Hamilton Distillery, a local “artesian” producer of the unique Whiskey del Bac, followed by a tasting of the Whiskey del Bac line of spirits.   Hamilton is known for using mesquite wood instead of peat, etc., in its distilling, producing a unique flavor profile.
 
When:  Sunday, February 26th, 3-5 PM
 
Where:  2106 N Forbes Blvd (# 103), near Grant Rd & I –10 intersection, just west of highway, 5 min from downtown
 
Cost:  $15/person – includes the tour and tasting flight of three whiskeys.  Additional tastings may be purchased a la carte if you are interested; no food other than nuts to cleanse the palate between tastings will be provided.
 
Important things to know:
• Due to space limitations, Hamilton can only offer the tour to 18 people, so don’t wait to reserve your place!
• Plenty of parking is available – the main entrance to the facility is actually the “back” entrance facing Forbes Blvd; “NO PARKING” signs on the side of the warehouse may be ignored for our tour
