Taste
Whiskey
Travel the Whiskey Trail to all eight stops and enjoy a whiskey tasting from each of the featured brands. The distillery representatives will pour you a half ounce taste of your choice while discussing the nuances of the whiskey that you are about to enjoy. Take your time at each stop and learn as much as possible from the experts at each location.
After you have finished your journey along the Whiskey Trail be sure to head to the Oscar Event Center Pub to continue your tasting adventure. In the pub we will be serving 8 signature cocktails provided by each brand from the Whiskey Trail. Your ticket entitles you to one complimentary cocktail. After that you are welcome to purchase additional signature cocktails as well as any whiskey or bourbon you enjoyed on the trail in the pub.
Food
Much like wine, whiskey works wonderfully with food, not only as a pairing, but also as an ingredient. As you journey down the whiskey trail be sure to stop off at the many food stations to enjoy some whiskey-inspired food. Our Oscar Event Center chefs have teamed up with our brand ambassadors to produce some wonderful recipes using the featured bourbons and whiskeys as key ingredients.
Cigars
What accompanies a fine whiskey or bourbon better than a fine cigar? Do you want to know which type of cigar goes best with different styles of whiskey? Be sure to stop by our cigar booth and speak with our expert who will guide you to the best cigar to accompany your favorite drink. You can purchase right from the booth and step out on the Oscar Event Center terrace to enjoy your perfectly matched cigar and whiskey.
