Description

Join us in Remington on June 18 for this special whiskey-soaked event! Shelley Sackier, author of MAKE IT A DOUBLE, will be in conversation with Chelsea Gregoire. Whiskey samples will be available for attendees. Braving the “all boys” clubhouse of the world of whisky has not been easy, but Shelley Sackier has managed to do just that out of her love for the drink, and there has never been a better time for Shelley’s inimitable voice to shed light on the world of whisky. Women are not only impressively contributing to the burgeoning sales of the spirit—making up nearly 40% of the whiskey-drinking population in the United States—but they are also growing in number as they enter into, train within, and lead the industry with their determined creativity and innovation. By turns funny and poignant, and filled with vivid insight into this rich craft, MAKE IT A DOUBLE will make even a teetotaler want a wee dram. In the tradition of Blood, Bones, and Butter, and Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, this fascinating inside-look at the world of women in whisky establishes Shelley Sackier as a fresh new voice in the rich world of culinary narrative. Shelley Sackier is the Director of Distillery Education at Reservoir Distillery in Virginia, where her aim is to distill down this sophisticated spirit one simple sip at a time. For the past twenty-five years she has devoted her efforts toward creating a plainspoken,easygoing, and humorous grasp on the subject to welcome more into this realm. She is also a critically acclaimed author of three YA novels. Chelsea Gregoire is the founder & Hospitality Director of Church Bar, and the owner-consultant behind Drinkable Genius.
