On Thursday, November 12, I covered the 2009 Philadelphia Whiskey Festival at the Union League in Philly.
I ended up doing a story for the Weekly Press on Bluecoat American Dry Gin, which is distilled in Northeast Philly by Philadelphia Distilling. They're trying to make a name for themselves in a market flooded with London dry gins.
There's so much more to it than just whiskey. There's food from the Palm and Capital Grille, cigars from Holt's Cigar Company (they had complimentary San Cristobal Monumentos which were excellent...although I'm still an Arturo Fuente Hemingway fan) and every kind of booze you can imagine.
