NEW for 2013! From 8:00-10:00 p.m., a Bourbon Bar will be located in the CW Color Wall on the first floor. Experts from Dayton’s own Century Bar have selected five bourbons to taste: Elmer T. Lee, Elijah Craig 12 year, Rare Breed, Ridgemont Reserve 1792, and Rebel Reserve.

In the VIP area, our expert will also provide an educational lesson on the difference between bourbon and Tennessee whiskey by pouring Blanton’s Single Barrell and Jack Daniels Single Barrell.
