An intimate 4-course dinner + whiskey tasting with Master Distiller Victoria Eady Butler at Sally’s. May 14 | Downtown SD | 6–8 PM.

Join us for a powerful and flavor-filled evening at Sally’s Waterfront Dining on Tuesday, May 14 from 6–8 PM — where heritage, hospitality, and history come together for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

We’re honored to host Victoria Eady Butler, four-time Master Blender of the Year and the first known Black female whiskey master blender — and great-great-granddaughter of Uncle Nearest Green, the formerly enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel the craft of whiskey.

Enjoy a 4-course chef-curated menu, perfectly paired with:

  • Welcome Cocktail
  • Guided Whiskey Tasting Flight — led by Victoria herself

This intimate, communal-seating event is limited to just 40 guests, creating a space to connect, sip, and celebrate a legacy of excellence and diversity in distilling.
