ABOUT THIS EVENT

Just as historic preservation requires time, dedication, expertise, and a deep reverence for the past, the finest spirits are crafted with the same enduring values. Join Preserve Chattanooga for Best Barrels, an evening of revelry, discovery, and enjoyment. Your ticket grants you exclusive access to single-barrel and uncommon pours featuring whiskeys and bourbons served in the city’s finest establishments and stocked on the most discerning purveyors’ shelves.

As you make your way upstairs to the beautifully refined Events Hall at St. John’s to begin your experience, warm wood, twinkling lights, and soaring ceilings set an enchanting tone for the evening. Executive Chef Patrick Sawyer will craft perfect pairings for guests to appreciate alongside the pours using seasonal ingredients and intentional technique, creating moments worth remembering.

For the true connoisseur, a VIP experience beckons. Enjoy early entry to the event and exclusive access to the Ferrari Room, a sleek, glass-enclosed lounge with a private patio. At 6PM sharp, you will savor a specially curated, guided tasting of three extremely sought-after and hard to find selections – bottles so rare they might even be called unicorns.

This premier event promises to be an unforgettable evening for whiskey enthusiasts and preservation advocates alike as we celebrate our shared values of craftsmanship, patience, and legacy, and support the mission of protecting and elevating Chattanooga’s architectural and cultural heritage.
