Private Barrel Collection Whiskey Dinner @ The Smoke Shop BBQ

Join us for an exclusive evening as we proudly showcase The Smoke Shop BBQ’s Private Barrel Collection—an extraordinary lineup of hand-selected whiskeys that you won’t find anywhere else. This limited collection is a testament to our passion for fine spirits, featuring Heaven's Door Private Barrel Whiskey, Maker's Mark Private Barrel #5, Rabbit Hole Heigold, and Knob Creek Rye. Each barrel has been carefully chosen to reflect the unique flavors and craftsmanship we cherish, offering an unparalleled tasting experience you won’t want to miss.

Your evening will begin with a signature cocktail featuring our Knob Creek Rye, setting the stage for a night of exceptional flavor. From there, Carl McCoy and CJ Kelly, two oustanding members of our executive team, will lead you through a guided tasting of each whiskey. You’ll start with Bob Dylan's creation Heaven's Door Private Barrel, followed by the bold Maker's Mark Private Barrel #5. Next, savor Rabbit Hole Heigold, a high rye double malt bourbon made exclusively for The Smoke Shop BBQ, offering a bold, yet nuanced profile.
