Maker's 46 debuts at Village Whiskey tonight

Maker's 46, the first new whiskey produced by Kentucky's Maker's Mark distillery in more than 50 years (it's actually their first new product ever), does the big reveal thing at Village Whiskey (118 S. 20th St.) this evening from 5 to 7. Maker's "diplomat" Nikki Smith will be on hand to hand out free tastes of the new bourbon aged in barrels lined with planks of French oak, which gives the end product noticeable caramel and vanilla characteristics and the VW bartenders will mix three $5 cocktails highlighting the brand-new spirit. (Check out details on those after the jump.) There will be whiskey-friendly bar snacks on hand, too.

Why would they hold this event at Village Whiskey? It's already difficult enough to find space in there.  Time would have been a more comfortable choice.
