Australia’s Biggest Whiskey Tasting Comes At A Perfect Time This Year, The Day Before Father’s Day.

If your Dad’s a bourbon lover and footy fan – this one’s for you. Buffalo Trace Distillery, the world’s most-awarded distillery, is teaming up with the Newtown Jets to transform Marrickville’s Henson Park into every Dad’s dreamland on 31st August, for one night only. And tickets are just $35pp!

Treat Dad to an unforgettable day of History, great food, belly laughs and good spirits this year at Marrickville’s Henson Park. Tickets to the event include entry to the Newtown Jets vs. Warriors game (kicking off at 3pm). From 6pm, Dad can sample four spectacular Buffalo Trace whiskeys, including their Kentucky Straight Bourbon Sazerac Rye, Weller Special Reserve Wheated Bourbon, and the fan-favourite Bourbon Cream. Andrew Barnett, a top Aussie comedian, and footy personality will be hosting the event alongside Buffalo Trace’s whiskey expert,  Gee David. Andrew and Gee will be sharing stories exclusive, never heard before stories throughout the day.

To top it all off, Sydney’s renowned Black Bear BBQ will be serving fare from their iconic rotating pork spit (and a cut is included in your ticket price). Yum! This exciting event is the perfect way to spend some quality time with your Dad, or, if you’re not a footy fan, grab him a couple of tickets to go with a mate – either way, he’ll be smiling all the way home. And so will you – for $35pp, this event is light on the wallet and heavy on the reward! With limited tickets available, book soon to avoid disappointment. Purchase your tickets here.
