What’s better than one Southern Whiskey Society event?
Make it two in one year. Just announced Made South will offer a Winter Edition of its Southern Whiskey Society on Saturday, February 29, at The Factory in Franklin.
Attendees will sample whiskey from over thirty regional distilleries, including Kentucky Owl, Buffalo Trace, Willett Distillery, Blade & Bow, and Heaven Hill. Guests are also able to add limited bottles of single barrel selections from Jack Daniel’s, New Riff, and Wilderness Trail to their ticket purchase.
New Chefs to be Featured at the Winter Edition
The region’s top chefs will be on hand to serve unique culinary creations. Enjoy food tastings from: Kevin Ashworth of 610 Magnolia in Louisville, KY; Tyler Brown of Southall in Franklin, TN; Matthew Statham of SAW’S Soul Kitchen in Birmingham, AL; Khaled AlBanna of Whitebird in Chattanooga, TN; Alex Belew of Dallas & Jane in Murfreesboro, TN; Owen Klein of Hardee’s in Franklin, TN; Spencer Gomez of Southern Belle & Georgia Boy in Atlanta, GA; Trey Cioccia of Black Rabbit in Nashville, TN; and Cody DeRosett of Lockbox in Lexington, KY.
Ticket Sales Benefit One Gen Away
The event benefits One Generation Away, a non-profit that distributes healthy foods to families throughout Middle Tennessee that lack access to food sources due to economic and physical barriers. Proceeds from a silent auction of single barrel selections will directly benefit the non-profit.
“Sharing delicious food and drink with good people is one of my favorite things to do,” says Chris Thomas, founder of MADE SOUTH. “The culinary creativity that exists in the South today is extraordinary, and we feel honored to showcase so many of those talents during Southern Whiskey Society.”
