About this Event
The Bourbon Goddess presents:
Barrel & Cocoa: A Bourbon & Artisan Chocolate Pairing Experience
The experience you didn’t know you needed—until now.
There are tastings, and then there are moments that shift your perspective. We are the event you didn’t know you needed until you experience it.
This Saturday, February 21st, join The Bourbon Goddess for an intimate sensory journey designed to slow time down and wake your palate up.
Barrel & Cocoa is a guided tasting where the warmth of the barrel meets the artistry of the bean. Whether you are a whiskey aficionado or someone who just loves a good pour, this is your invitation to explore the "softer side" of bourbon in a way you never have before.
Why You Need to Be Here:
We are pouring a curated lineup of three exceptional bourbons that are redefining the industry. You won't just drink them; you'll discover why they matter.
We’ve paired each glass with bespoke artisan chocolates—hand-crafted in Atlanta specifically to unlock hidden notes of oak, spice, dark fruit, and caramel.
The Vibe:
The Setting: An intimate, hidden gem in South Downtown Atlanta.
The Mood: Sophisticated, social, and unhurried.
The Host: Guided by Executive Bourbon Steward Donna Bowman, you’ll learn the "whys" and "hows" of tasting without any of the pretension.
Your Experience Includes:
The Warm-Up: Kick things off at 4:00 PM with a signature Welcome Cocktail and light savory bites to prep your palate.
The Flight: A guided tasting of three premium bourbons.
The Pairing: Luxury chocolates hand-crafted to complement every sip.
The Knowledge: Walk away with a custom tasting mat, a flavor wheel, and the confidence to order bourbon like a pro.
