The Nashville Whiskey Festival is back for its seventh year in Music City. The Festival, produced by Midtown Corkdorks, culminates in a grand tasting on Saturday, October 6. A number of events during the week lead up to the Saturday finale including Women In Whiskey. Straight Up 615‘s very own, yours truly, Cary Ann Fuller will again moderate a panel of women in the whiskey world.
While women are featured, men are welcome to attend & learn, too!

While logistical details are still underway, the roster is set with a group of whiskey women all directly involved in production, from distillation to maturation. Expect a lively discussion from the moderated panel and samples of the products from each panelist’s distillery. Appearing this year:
- Allisa Henley, Sazerac Tennessee
- Andrea Wilson, Michter’s
- Ashley Barnes, Four Roses
- Jane Bowie, Maker’s Mark
- Lisa Roper Wicker, Samson & Surrey (Widow Jane)
