Social Scene has introduced you to our distillery partners and the venues for this year’s Winter Whiskey Festival. Now, it’s time to get to know the drinks. Prior to this wondrous experience, we are never missing a moment to take you inside the glasses of the mixes at the 2018 Winter Whiskey Festival. Whether you are looking for a smooth finish or a taste of Irish whiskey, here’s a glimpse of some of the spirits we’ve included in the collection.
Whiskey drinkers always look for that smooth finish in the bottle, and the upcoming tasting feast is giving you exactly what people have come to love about this powerful blend. Some say taking a gulp gives one a strong, perhaps wild sensation in the palate down the throat, therefore the search for smoothness.
To be featured in the event are corn whiskeys made with natural flavors to create a smooth, sweet, and clean finish. Bear Wallow Distillery’s Corn Whiskey Moonshine collection and The Indiana Whiskey Company’s Silver Sweet Corn Whiskey are making an appearance at the Indianapolis leg.
The tasting scene in Chicago is also about to introduce a rich and smooth-tasting whiskey coming from the city’s very own distilleries. Rush Creek Distillery’s American Gold is bound to unveil the essences of rare and genuine Western blend in the glass. It is expertly crafted and hand-bottled to perfection.

The same venue will also have Brenne Single Malt Whisky that is loaded with tangs of burnt caramel, bananas, cinnamon spices, and other tropical fruits.
Irish grains have been the backbone of the best tasting whiskeys around the world, and even the real American ones trace back their roots from the way these European settlers introduced the blend to the locals.
