Stories, reviews, and news from the Alliance.
Our May event brought Memphis distillery Old Dominick to Bellhop in Downtown Orlando for a sold-out tasting—seven pours, charcuterie, and a heartfelt surprise—plus a first-of-its-kind barrel pick on the way.
A November trip to Wild Turkey turned into one of our most memorable barrel picks yet. After our group landed in a dead split between two Russell's single barrels, Bruce Russell stepped in and made the call.
The final barrel from our June 2025 Kentucky trip is here. We visited Heaven Hill in Bardstown with Five Star Liquor, tasted through three solid barrels, and ended up with something even more special thanks to a surprise appearance from Master Distiller Conor O'Driscoll.
After a decade of bringing whiskey lovers together, the Orlando Whiskey Society is joining forces with the Orlando Bourbon Gang to form the Orlando Whiskey Alliance — a stronger community united by the same mission: great whiskey and even better people.
