Barrel To Bottle Society

Yes, this is a Ladies only scotch drinking social club. I know… AMAZING!
This is why I adore Orlando. Awesome, local community group meet ups like this!
Mission: This will be a space to get to know what other women are doing in the community, and to learn about scotch whisky from the experts.
I mean who doesn’t want to check this out? As stated in this first meet up, scotch whisky marketing is geared towards men so what other way to learn and stretch your comfort zone with this specific alcohol than to gather with a bunch of cool, local chicks!
Kaitlin, the founder of this group, also rocks the craft cocktail scene here in Orlando! She really does have a passion for community and truly understands the liquor/​cocktail industry.
The first meetup was a huge success; 30 women providing fabulous company, two very different whisky tastings with snacks and hearing from two movers and shakers who rock Orlando: Kaitlin and Gabby Lothrop (Founder of Audubon Park Community Market and the Director of East End Market)! Tow women who truly live and breath my personal motto: If it’s something you want and it doesn’t exist… Create it!
Loved that we were provided notebooks as we entered so we could keep track of the tasting notes and history! We tried
Cardhu Scotch — Made in Scotland and the distillery’s Scotch whisky makes up an important part of the famous Johnnie Walker blended whiskies.
Ardbeg Scotch — Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky owned by Louis Vuitton. Fancy!
We also paired some amazing cheese and smoked almonds from La Femme du Fromage with our tastings. Delicious pair!
Shout out to Ann R and Brenda H for introducing me to this awesome meet up! Can’t wait for the next one!
