Barrel & Cocoa: A Bourbon & Artisan Chocolate Pairing Experience

The experience you didn’t know you needed—until now.​

There are tastings, and then there are moments that shift your perspective. We are the event you didn’t know you needed until you experience it.

​This Saturday, February 21st, join The Bourbon Goddess for an intimate sensory journey designed to slow time down and wake your palate up.

Barrel & Cocoa is a guided tasting where the warmth of the barrel meets the artistry of the bean. Whether you are a whiskey aficionado or someone who just loves a good pour, this is your invitation to explore the "softer side" of bourbon in a way you never have before.​

Why You Need to Be Here:

We are pouring a curated lineup of three exceptional bourbons that are redefining the industry. You won't just drink them; you'll discover why they matter.

We’ve paired each glass with bespoke artisan chocolates—hand-crafted in Atlanta specifically to unlock hidden notes of oak, spice, dark fruit, and caramel.​

The Vibe:​

The Setting: An intimate, hidden gem in South Downtown Atlanta.​

The Mood: Sophisticated, social, and unhurried.​

The Host: Guided by Executive Bourbon Steward Donna Bowman, you’ll learn the "whys" and "hows" of tasting without any of the pretension.​

Your Experience Includes:​

The Warm-Up: Kick things off at 4:00 PM with a signature Welcome Cocktail and light savory bites to prep your palate.​

The Flight: A guided tasting of three premium bourbons.​

The Pairing: Luxury chocolates hand-crafted to complement every sip.​

The Knowledge: Walk away with a custom tasting mat, a flavor wheel, and the confidence to order bourbon like a pro.​
