Featuring local whisky from J.P. Wiser’s distilled at the Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery along with sweet and savoury bites locally sourced by The Cheese Bar.

Throughout the evening, you can entice your palate with multiple flavours while exploring the area’s rich history in whisky-making and secret illicit activities. Travel back to the 19th century and beyond as you learn about the beginning of our local industry and how our success later became the bee’s knees for dappers and flappers ready to risk it all to make an amber-coated fortune. Their secret endeavours live on still today, some still being uncovered in the depths of our very own Detroit River.
