Sazerac Mash Bill Tasting Dinner

Reserve your seat to Celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month this September with a Sazerac Mash Bill Tasting, Hosted by Alan & Darrell Benton, Dinner prepared by Chef John Bryant of Bistro by the Tracks

On Thursday, September 17, 2026, this dinner will center around the history of the Buffalo Trace Distillery as well as the history of Benton’s Country Ham. Chef John Bryant will curate a meal using Benton’s Country Ham products based on his vision to compliment and to enhance two bourbons from each of the four Buffalo Trace Distillery mash bills. One bourbon will be where the mash bill “starts” and the other will be where it “finishes.” Rye Mash #1 will feature an E.H. Taylor Selection and George T Stagg. Rye Mash #2 will feature Blanton’s Original Single Barrel Bourbon and Hancock’s President’s Reserve.

The Wheated Mash Bill will feature Burleson Group’s single barrel pick of Weller Antique 107 and the Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 yr . The final mash bill, Rye Whiskey, will feature Sazerac Rye 100 proof and the Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 yr. The dinner will include a greeter cocktail and Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream as an after-dinner pour.

Alan and/or Darrell Benton will speak to the history of Benton’s as well as their process. Also, a representative from Knoxville Beverage/Sazerac will speak to the history of Buffalo Trace and the bourbons.

Individual seats will be sold for $750 per seat. Only 20 seats available.
