Spirits in a Bottle: A Spooky Halloween Candy & Bourbon Pairing
A Private Blind Tasting with Bourbon Steward Rhonda Shires of Bourbon Trails and Bluegrass Tales

Join us at Smoke Justis on Tuesday, October 27th for a bourbon tasting experience like no other, with a Halloween twist! Five blind pours, five pieces of Halloween candy, and one very fun night of figuring out which sweet treats bring out the best in your bourbon.

This event is ticketed and spots are limited. Don't wait!

Every bottle holds a few spirits of its own. Kentucky’s bourbon history is full of moonlit stills, warehouses that creak after dark, and legends that never quite left the rickhouse. This Halloween, we’re letting them out one pour at a time.

Bourbon is already packed with vanilla, caramel, spice, and fruit, so the right candy can pull flavors out of the glass you'd never notice on their own. The wrong one? That's half the fun.

Five Spirits. Five Tales.

Every pour is served blind, so there are no labels to lean on and no reputations to hide behind. Rhonda will guide you through each pairing, reveal the bottle after the pour, and share a few spooky tales from Kentucky's bourbon country along the way.

Charcuterie trays will be on the tables all night for snacking, and every guest receives 10% off dinner afterward.
