“We are thrilled for our second year of Lexington Bourbon Week with a stellar lineup of 20 local restaurants and bars,” says Amy Eddie, director of events at Smiley Pete Publishing, in a news release.
“This year there is an exciting range of bourbon cocktails, from traditional favorites to unique creations like Mazunte’s Latin-inspired Horchata Bourbon and 33 Staves’ Milk-clarified E.J. Curley Small Batch with lemon and honey. Plus, Chevy Chase Inn and Charlie Brown’s are teaming up for a fun twist — enjoy one of Charlie Brown’s off-menu creations, then take your glass over to CCI to try theirs. You may find you haven’t yet tried your favorite bourbon libation!”
