July’s Bittered Sling Bistro features the huge portfolio of historically important spirits from Brown-Forman, including Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Woodford Reserve Bourbon.
Stepping up to the plate this month are two bartenders equally engaging when it comes to the history of cocktails and our industry – reigning BSBistro Season 1 & 2 winner, Gerry Jobe (currently the Okanagan Brand Ambassador for Jack Daniel’s and Woodford Reserve, formerly of Raudz Regional Table) steps up on July 10. On July 31, award-winning bartender and corporate beverage director from the Donnelly Group, Trevor Kallies (he’s also a manager for the Tales of the Cocktail Bartender Apprentice Program).
Both bartenders will bring a breadth of experience and stories to the table this month, so don’t miss out! Get all the tasty details after the jump…
