About the Event:
Ever wonder why one whiskey label makes you reach for the bottle and another doesn't? Or how salt taxes helped decide which cities became trade routes and which didn't?
Salt & Spirits takes the ideas from MODA's current exhibition, SALT: A Design Story, and pours them into your glass. Troy Bell, founder of Dad's Whisky Stash and an award winning Executive Bourbon Steward, leads a seated tasting through three whiskeys, each one tied to a theme from the gallery: how process shapes a spirit, how design shapes a bottle, and how place shapes a city's drinking history.

A guided, seated tasting of three whiskeys, each paired with a story from the gallery
