Spirited Sermon: Repeal Day Special with Old Forester Bourbon

In 1933, after 13 years of bathtub spirits, bootlegging & speakeasies, the 18th Amendment to the constitution of the USA was repealed, ending Prohibition & legalising alcohol for sale & consumption once again. Old Forester Bourbon was one of the only legally available bourbons which continued production during those dark years, and we’ll be celebrating the anniversary (actually 5th December but who’s counting?) of that momentous occasion with one of the oldest & best bourbons around.

Throughout the evening, the host will join guests at their table to examine the chosen spirit, offering fascinating facts and amusing anecdotes about its history and production, whilst Rev JW Simpson’s experienced cocktail bartenders demonstrate how to use the spirit’s unique flavours to create beautiful, delicate and delicious concoctions. Guests will then have the opportunity to use their newly learnt skills to shake and stir their own cocktail at the pop up bar.
