Guests enjoyed whiskies from around the world, meals from Broken Anchor restaurant, and live music. Whisky can have a niche audience and according to Stephens, the event is intended to grow it.
“Adam Block, who started the event, he’s a massive whisky lover and I think he just wanted to create a platform to celebrate that and educate people on the pallet of whisky,” said Stephens.
“The people who love whisky, love it,” added Feaster event producer Josh Watson.
When asked if the event would be back in 2025, Stephens said “Yes!”
