Old Fashioned Week 2023

Overview

Everyone has a favourite kind of cocktail — and if yours is the good ol' trusty tipple that is the old fashioned, November is your time to shine. Every year, Woodford Reserve hosts Old Fashioned Week, which is about putting the brand's booze to work in a classic concoction. In 2023, it runs from Saturday, November 4–Saturday, November 18.

Hailing from the alcohol label and showcasing one specific type of drink, the fest is popping up at more than 40 bars across Australia, including 15 in New South Wales. Even better: there's a complimentary Woodford Reserve old fashioned up for grabs for everyone.

To claim your sip, you will need to head to the event's website, enter your details, then activate your voucher when you're in one of the participating watering holes.

Your places to hit up: Chin Chin, Baxter Inn, Earl's Juke Joint and Fortunate Son, as well as Hickson House, Doss House, Shady Pines, Bancho, Tokyo Bird and Jolene's. The list also includes Duke of Clarence, Cardea, Pocket Terrigal, Stitch Bar and Jacksons on George.

And, of course, whether you're drinking your free beverage or not, old fashioneds are firmly on the menu.
