Carolina Crafted: An Oaklore Whisky Tasting
Presented by the Menhaden Whisky Society at 34° North Restaurant
Experience an evening of North Carolina whiskey, craftsmanship, and bold character as the Menhaden Whisky Society welcomes Oaklore Distilling Co. to 34° North Restaurant.
Based in the Charlotte area, Oaklore is a North Carolina craft distillery known for its distinctive four-grain mash bill, extended aging, and innovative cask finishes. Its flagship Four Grain Bourbon brings together corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley to create a layered and complex flavor profile.
Meet Jack Shute
Guiding us through the evening will be Jack Shute, Vice President of Sales and Commercial Operations at Oaklore Distilling Co. A passionate advocate for great whiskey, local craftsmanship, and the community behind it, Jack enjoys sharing the stories, people, and process that make each Oaklore whiskey unique.
