May 5, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

12717950_204823039907593_8500414611930497441_n-1The Montessori School of Dayton Foundation has become pretty successful with their winter beer tasting event, founded in 2011 it’s been a sellout for the last few years.  So  for a spring event they’ve launched a Whisk(e)y for Wisdom event that will take place this Saturday night from 5:30-8:30pm.   With the rare opportunity to head inside the hallowed halls of  the Engineer’s Club, guests will help support the school’s foundation to award grants, scholarships as well as  support teacher education. Mike Schwartz from Belmont Party Supply and Ollie’s Place will help  guests explore the differences between whiskey and whisky types, discover brand differences and the history of this fermented grain mash.

Tickets to the Whisky for Wisdom Event cost $45.00 and include:

  • 8 (1/2 oz pours)
  • A bonus cocktail or special whiskey
  • Whisk(e)y-inspired food
  • A souvenir tasting glass
  • Coffee and dessert towards the end of the event

Additional tastes and cocktails will be available for purchase at the event. A sampling of the whiskies to taste include High West Campfire, Town Branch Rye, Oyo Olorosa, Woodford Reserve Double Oak and Glenfiddich 18.

The Dayton Cocktail Company will be on hand to mix classic cocktails, perfect to celebrate Derby Day with. Each general admission tickets includes one of these cocktails:

About Lisa Grigsby

Lisa Grigsby is a Special Events Director with over thirty years experience in promotions, event coordination and public relations.

Owning Jokers Comedy Cafe for 20 years taught Lisa to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. She credits Leadership Dayton for exposing her to the amazing assets of the region and Clothes That Work for being her reason she stayed in Dayton. Her proudest accomplishment as a past president of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association was creating Restaurant Week, a twice a year tradition that continues to grow and benefit local charities as well. As a foodie, it's only natural that she continues to promote local restaurateurs with DaytonDining.

As a Dayton Catalyst, her desire to have ONE community calendar and advocate for the amazing assets of the region helped create the vision for the relaunch of DaytonMostMetro, now Dayton 937.com
