April 17th meeting: We will taste our barrel of 12 year Elijah Craig; there are less than 80 bottles for purchase! Sally Van Winkle Campbell will be talking about her grandfather, Pappy Van Winkle and discussing her book, “But Always Fine Bourbon”.
March 13 Field Trip: Breakfast at Dish on Market with President Truman’s favorite breakfast ( one egg, one piece of toast, one piece of bacon, a glass of milk (coffee, if you’d prefer), and a shot of Old Grandad!!! (I also talked him into a glazed donut – sorry Harry:-)), followed by a tour of the Vendome Copper and Brass Works.
January 17th meeting: With Tom Schiller presenting, we will taste Jim Rutledge’s winter barrel selection. In addition, Four Roses produced 3 barrel strength OBSV recipes that can only be purchased at the distillery gift shop, and we have purchased one of these for tasting at this meeting.
November 15 meeting report: Bourbon writer Susan Reigle lead a tasting of bourbons with wheat in their mash bills, rather than rye. Among those sampled was a wheat whiskey, made with 51 per cent wheat.
Event Report: Nov 6 – Day at the Downs. A great time was had by all, thanks to our hosts the Harprings (See Bob’s comments on the right). The only disappointment was that Bourbon Girl (and who could resist that name?) ran 6th in a field of 7 in the 5th race!
The Pendennis Club is located at 218 W Muhammad Ali Blvd. Louisville, KY 40202
