Kick off the EKU Scholars Showcase with an exclusive Alumni Spotlight evening dedicated to Kentucky’s most famous export. Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of the Hospitality and Bourbon industries with hospitality expert Jeff Crowe ’18 from Heaven Hill Distillery and EKU adjunct faculty member and bourbon expert Susan Reigler.

The evening begins with a social Happy Hour featuring specially curated hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. The program includes an informal discussion panel with our featured experts and a guided bourbon tasting led by both Jeff and Susan. Susan Reigler will also be available for book signings before and after the event.

Don’t miss this "spirited" conversation in the heart of campus! Space is limited for the tasting portion, so claim your spot today.
