FWBF - Old Carter VIP Experience

On Friday, September 25, a limited number of guests will join Mark Carter at Fuel Social Club in Auburn, Indiana, for an intimate, two-hour curated tasting featuring whiskey and wine from throughout his remarkable career. This isn't your typical bourbon tasting. Mark Carter has built a reputation for creating exceptional wine and whiskey. From producing highly acclaimed wines to co-founding Kentucky Owl and transforming it into one of the most sought-after names in American whiskey, he brings that same expertise as founder of Old Carter Whiskey Co. For this special evening, Mark will personally lead guests through a tasting that brings those worlds together. 🥃 THE TASTING EXPERIENCE Guests will taste five special pours, including: • Kentucky Owl Whiskey — an opportunity to revisit the brand that became a legendary name among bourbon collectors • Carter Cellars Wine — representing Mark's extensive background in winemaking, which has included numerous critically acclaimed wines • Three expressions of Old Carter Whiskey — selected to showcase what Old Carter is producing today But the bottles are only part of the experience. Mark will personally guide the tasting, sharing the stories, history and philosophy behind each pour and his journey from acclaimed wine producer to one of the most recognized names in the world of American whiskey. A RARE OPPORTUNITY Mark Carter rarely hosts experiences like this, which makes having him in Northeast Indiana to kick off Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest weekend particularly special. This will be an intimate event designed to give guests the opportunity to taste exceptional whiskey and wine while hearing directly from the person behind them.
