Join Mystic for a curated cheese & bourbon pairing experience. They’re all about disrupting the norm and creating unexpected flavor matches. A cheeseboard might usually call for wine, but Mystic thinks bourbon is the perfect partner. Cheese can be salty, creamy, sharp, tangy, or fruity — and bourbon’s rich, complex profile makes it an ideal counterpart. Expect thoughtfully paired complementary and contrasting combinations designed for culinary creatives and curious palates alike. Event Highlights: Guided tasting of 4–6 cheese and bourbon pairings Tasting notes and pairing tips you can recreate at home Distillery tour showing how our bourbons are made Small-group setting with time for Q&A Space is limited.
