We are excited to host our annual Cask & Cork "A Sip of History" Tasting Event. This event will bring together bourbon enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and newcomers alike to experience the rich flavors and heritage of distinctive spirits. The Cask & Cork Tasting Event will include delectable food, Whiskey University mini sessions, a curated selection of whiskeys, bourbons, wines, spirits, craft beer and exquisite specialty cocktails. 

We will embark on a journey through the world of spirits, all while nestled in the heart of the city. Alabama Constitution Hall Park, the birthplace of Alabama's statehood in 1819, is rich with historical significance. While enchanting music plays in the background, lanterns will illuminate Alabama Constitution Hall Park as docents mingle among the grounds, and you might even have the chance to witness the rhythmic clang of a blacksmith's hammer on the grounds, adding to the historical atmosphere.

We offer both VIP and General Admission Tickets to cater to your preferences. Every ticket includes access to Whiskey University mini sessions, scheduled periodically throughout the event.  

Funds raised support the EarlyWorks Museum STEAM initiatives.
