October 11 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for a tasting and learning experience at Whiskey Wednesday! Elijah Craig featured at The Bluegrass Candelas!
Our 2nd to last Whiskey Wednesday for 2023!
Rotating between our Olde Town and Candelas locations, join us for a tasting and educational experience guided by state ambassadors, owners, and master distillers of rotating distilleries!
Pizza and garlic knots will be provided alongside a unique whiskey portfolio decided by the Elijah Craig Specialist, Brittany Brooks!
This Whiskey Wednesday will feature Elijah Craig Bourbon at the Bluegrass CANDELAS in the Northwest neighborhood of Arvada
From their website: Reverend Elijah Craig was a Baptist preacher, an educator, and an entrepreneur who built the first paper and wool mills in Georgetown, Kentucky. But for all his industries, it was his gift as a distiller and an innovator that brought him his greatest acclaim. While we draw inspiration from parts of Elijah Craig’s story as a distiller, a critical component of this history are the enslaved people who made major contributions to Bourbon. Elijah Craig was an enslaver, relying upon enslaved people to run his distilling and broader business operations. Uncovering the identities and roles of these laborers, how they contributed to the birth of the Bourbon industry and the legacy their families left is a critical mission of our brand today. Elijah Craig is actively engaged in academic research with the University of Kentucky’s Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies and Central Kentucky Slavery Initiative, as well as other initiatives, to not only share a more transparent and inclusive account of our past, but to also make America today a more just and equitable country.
