Bourbon, Cocktails & Fried Chicken with Beam Distillery!

We're excited to welcome Alice Newport to Whisky & Alement for this first time in her role as National Ambassador for James B. Beam Distilling co. As well as producing the world's most recognisable bourbon brand, Beam Distillery was also the tip of the spear for the American whiskey revolution that's happened over the last 20 years, being among the first to release serious, limited edition, high-proof bourbons selected from the best casks and designed to be enjoyed neat. 

Alice has over 15 years experience in the hospitality industry working in the UK and Australia, and for the last five years has represented various premium and craft whiskey bands. Alice now looks after the worlds’ most iconic bourbon portfolio as a consummate bourbon and whiskey lover. Alice will take us thought the history of Jim Beam Distillery and present seven bottles of outstanding bourbon including rare and vintage editions of Booker's and Basil Hayden plus a cocktail on arrival and fried chicken from Sonny's. This event will be a must for any American whiskey lover!
