Wild Turkey Way at Whitehart

Overview

For a few nights in May, Whitehart in the CBD will be taken over by bourbon cocktails and art from some of Australia's most impressive young artists.

Sip on a Wild Turkey Kentucky Firebird — a bourbon cocktail combining bitter and sweet with Grand Marnier, Cinzano Rosso and Maraschino; live-smoked with American oak wood chips. There will be some barrels about, too — decorated with a unique gallery of artworks from Australian artists including skateboarding icon and artist Gareth Stehr, pioneering female street artist Klara and urban artist Adrian Doyle. It's all to celebrate leading Australian talent who embody the ethos of 'doing things your way', just like three generations of the Russell family have done in creating Wild Turkey American bourbon for over 100 years with their own traditional distilling process.

Really, it's just a good chance for you to see some great art and try out a few bourbon cocktails at Whitehart. Preston's Dexter are popping up for the month at the venue, too — so you can snack on some of their famous burgers and fries while you're there.
