BMW Warwick’s Bourbon Street Providence Benefits Veterans

The annual Bourbon Street Providence drew hundreds to the Rhode Island Convention Center on November 8. Along with a wide variety of spirits and craft cocktails with an emphasis on bourbons and whiskeys, fare from local restaurants was also available for tasting throughout the evening. An exclusive tasting of The Macallan and the Highland Park Single Malt Scotch collection was led by Macallan Ambassador Sammy Karachi. Guests sipped, shopped and listened to live music by Blockhead. The event benefited Operation Stand Down of Rhode Island, an organization dedicated to helping veterans secure stable housing, employment and other necessities.
