San Antonio to Showcase Exciting Whiskey Experience and Arcade Fun in February 2024

Hey there, San Antonio! Get ready for a thrilling month as February 2024 rolls in, bringing with it a unique blend of whiskey tastings and some good old-fashioned arcade fun. Mark your calendars, because there are two hot events you won’t want to miss!

Experience Whiskey Like Never Before

On February 20, the well-known Fawn Weaver, who is the CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, is heading to San Antonio as part of her “Love & Whiskey Unfiltered Book Tour Experience.” This special event will be held at the charming Stable Hall located on the historical Pearl Brewery campus. Here’s your chance to get cozy by the fire and share in a deep and enlightening conversation with a New York Times bestselling author who’s making waves in the liquor world!

Uncle Nearest is not just any whiskey brand; it holds the honor of being the first whiskey brand ever named after a Black American. That’s right! The brand is dedicated to Nathan “Nearest” Green, who not only crafted great whiskey but also shared a special friendship with none other than Jack Daniel himself. Fawn has created an amazing narrative in her book, “Love & Whiskey,” where she uncovers how Green’s legacy is leaving a significant mark on the whiskey industry today.

But that’s not all! The event will also feature the incredibly talented Victoria Eady Butler, four-time Master Blender of the Year and a proud descendant of Nathan Green. Expect an interactive experience where you will not only hear captivating stories but will also have the opportunity to taste four premium whiskeys from Uncle Nearest’s award-winning portfolio. This brand has snagged the title of the most-awarded bourbon and American whiskey from 2019 to 2023, making this tasting a must-try!

Adding to the delightful experience, guests will enjoy a delicious spread curated by the talented Chef Nicola Blaque, who has a James Beard Award nomination under her belt. Plus, every ticket holder will receive a signed copy of Fawn’s book, making it a perfect souvenir from what promises to be an unforgettable evening.
