Along with the standard issue tastings that we took part in, the gang took part in a couple of extra events during their food and drink marathon. Patrick and Ashley went to a Rip Van Winkle handmade bourbon tasting seminar hosted by the distiller himself, and the group of 4 went to a Bubbles and Sweets party that lasted till the late night...
Ashley was definitely a trooper for being one of the only women at the manly bourbon tasting event, and was CLEARLY the youngest one there! We were a little groggy, a little sluggish, and were sat down in front of 4 big glasses of bourbon.... straight up...
We were exposed to bourbon that had come right off the still....(I LIKE TO CALL THIS ONE THE VOMIT MAKER)
We were also exposed to the other end of the spectrum, 23 year old Bourbon that costs $400 a bottle
Although it was hard to rally up for this event, one thing was clear... Patrick was in heaven!
The Bubbles and Sweets was something that was more up Caitlin's alley. Champagne from one side of the room to the other, everything draped in pink shades, and a band playing that would lead you to believe Lady Gaga was playing one minute, and the Black Eyed Peas the next...
Chris eventually hit his groove, and was able to find something pink that Caitlin wouldn't want.....
Even the presentation of the desserts was unique.... Here's Ashley getting a desert out of a vending machine.... chocolate filled with orange and poprocks....
