Celebrate World Wide Whisky Day in Decatur

Posted in Retail & Restaurants on May 15, 2015 | 1 Comment »

WorldwideWhiskyday

Tomorrow, May 16, 2015 is World Wide Whisky Day. Yes, that’s a thing, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate it in Decatur.

The Marlay House is offering a special selection of four Irish whiskeys and a cheese plate.

Brick Store, Leon’s and Kimball House have all said they’ll be celebrating – especially since every day is pretty much whisky day for them.

And then of course, you cannot mention whisky in Decatur without thinking of Mac McGee. The pub has more than 100 Whisk(e)ys to choose from. So belly up to the bar, order your favorite and #ShareADram.

And if having a wee dram gets you in the mood to shop, visit Trinity Mercantile & Design for all things whisky. Pick up a copy of  A Guide to Urban Moonshining: How to make and drink whiskey and stock up on some bar items/accessories.

Sláinte!
