Varanese Restaurant, located at 2106 Frankfort Avenue, will host the “Knob Creek Bourbon Dinner” on Thursday, May 26, with a reception at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:00pm. The cost of the four-course dinner is $60 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required with a credit card and can be made by calling (502) 899-9904 or emailing letsdine@varanese.com.

Created by Booker Noe, the father of small batch whiskey, Knob Creek seeks to restore the quality standards of the pre-prohibition era. The result is an undeniably big, full flavor that strikes your senses with a maple sugar aroma and distinctive sweetness. Our special guest for the evening will be Megan Brier, Brand Ambassador for Jim Beam Global, who will be available to answer questions about the Knob Creek distillery, aging process, bourbon varieties, and more.
