We are excited to announce a free series of Pappy Bourbon SHOWDOWN events where we match up the infamous Pappy Van Winkle whiskies in a blind tasting against a foreboding whiskey competitor! Round One takes place in our Providence liquor store on Thursday, November 21st, 2013 with Pappy 20 Year versus Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel. Free tickets will be handed out at 5:30pm and are limited to the first 100 guests, 21+. Blind tasting and voting will begin at 6pm and the winner will be announced after the tasting has concluded.

THERE WILL BE NO PAPPY FOR SALE

Guests will also be able to enjoy music by local Providence musicians, The Silks starting at 5pm! All tastings are free and open to the public, 21 and over.

Pappy Van Winkle Bourbons are the most sought-after products in any liquor store. Here at Bottles in Providence, Rhode Island, we receive daily requests for this hard to find bourbon, which speaks to its enormous appeal and superior quality. Last year, we were honored to host Julian Van Winkle III of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbons for an in-store talk and signing, followed by a bourbon dinner at Farmstead later in the evening.
