UrbanGlass to celebrate local handmade whiskey in early October

FILED UNDER: Announcements, Events, News

UrbanGlass, in partnership with the Kings County Distillery, will host BourbonGlass on Wednesday, October 7th from 7 PM to 9 PM. A fundraising cocktail party for the arts nonprofit that publishes GLASS Quarterly and the Hot Sheet, the event will take place in the 17,000-square-foot studios of UrbanGlass. Guests will be able taste the distillery's line of small-batch whiskeys and learn about the history of whiskey production in Brooklyn, as well as specifics about the five-year-old distillery from master blender Nicole Austin. Austin helped design a custom whiskey glass being made for the occasion by artist and designer William Couig. Each guest will take his or her tasting glass home as a gift.

Guests will enjoy whiskeys and hors d'oeuvres and have the opportunity to watch artists at work making these unique glasses.  This event is generously sponsored by Kings County Distillery, Edible Brooklyn, and Zayas Design.
