Ghost of the Colonial Hotel Bourbon Project
Christina and Neil Chanter of Springfield Brewing Company / Ty Iechyd Da Distillery have offered to host the Springfield Rotary community for a reception at their distillery to share the story behind the project and allow Rotarians to taste the custom bourbon created for Springfield’s upcoming centennial.
Reception Details
Friday, April 17
4:00 – 7:00 PM (come and go)
Ty Iechyd Da Distillery – Springfield Brewing Company
Guests are welcome.
This special bourbon is a limited release created from a blend of barrels ranging from approximately 4 to 10 years in age, including bourbon distilled locally and barrels uniquely finished by their team. Bottles will be available for purchase at the event for $100, while supplies last.
This should be a fun opportunity to celebrate Springfield history, learn about the project, and enjoy time together as Rotarians.
