Mark your calendars for Friday, December 8th and plan on being in Harvard Square to rub elbows with Scott Neil, the founder of Horse Soldier Bourbon – Neil will be at The Smoke Shop pouring some spirits samples and sharing some stories about his days as a Green Beret in Afghanistan. Veterans, active military, and anyone who loves a sip of a well-made whiskey should grab a ticket here for Whiskey and War Stories, a three-course dinner of acclaimed chef and pitmaster Andy Husbands’ smoketacular BBQ, which will be paired with three of Neil’s most prized bourbons. You’ll get to taste The Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey, and the Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey, plus there will be a special cocktail demo and some time for Q&A with Neil. Snag a ticket here; dinner is $70 (plus a small fee) and starts at 6:30pm. If you have any Qs give the Harvard Square location a ring at 617.547.7427 and keep an eye on their IG for updates.
