Michter’s American Whiskey was showcased during a pairing dinner at SoNo Wood Fired in South Norwalk on April 8 in collaboration with distributor Brescome Barton. During the evening, guests learned about and tasted the Michter’s line, which includes US*1 Small Batch American Whiskey, Sour Mash Whiskey, 10 Year Kentucky Straight Rye and 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon. In October 2024, Michter’s became the first whiskey to be named as the World’s Most Admired Whiskey for two consecutive years by an international academy of voters as announced by UK-based Drinks International magazine. Brescome Barton’s Chris Munk, Account Development Manager, and Sara Leibowitz, Sales Representative, gave an overview of the award-winning Michter’s American Whiskey line while guests enjoyed a four-course dinner prepared by the venue’s culinary team paired with whiskey tastes and cocktails.
