Owners of Flûte & Dram, Ruby’s Elixir, Central Cigars, and Gratzzi Italian Grille Host Social Media Contest Where the Best Dad’s Win a Limited Edition Single Barrel Bourbon Collaboration Bottle
Tampa Bay, FLA (June 17th, 2020) – Two local dads are soon to enjoy the good stuff. Flûte & Dram, Beach Drive’s whiskey & champagne concept is hosting a social media contest on their Facebook and Instagram pages where the public can nominate their Dad to win a bottle of “Fool’s Gold”, a single-barrel bourbon collaboration with Buffalo Trace. After sampling multiple barrels, “the “Fools”, St. Petersburg locals Greg Haddad and Tony Mangiafico of St. Pete’s Flûte & Dram, Gratzzi Italian Grille, Ruby’s Elixir, and Central Cigars aptly coined their selection “Fool’s Gold”.
To enter, go to Flûte & Dram’s Facebook or Instagram pages and comment on the contest post about the ways that make your dad the best. The winner will be selected and announced on Father’s Day, June 21st. One winner will be selected on Facebook, and one winner selected on Instagram.
Fool’s Gold is a single-barrel bourbon, meaning it isn’t blended into batches from multiple barrels. While blending and batching methods are used to ensure a uniform flavor profile from bottle to bottle, Fool’s Gold is an entirely unique flavor and bottled at a higher proof when compared to other Buffalo Trace Bourbon, making it rich and complex, with hints of vanilla, toffee, and candied fruit as a result of the New Oak barrel stored in century old warehouses until peak maturity. Each glass finishes with an unmatched smoothness that lingers on the palate leaving it in a category of its own in terms of flavor profile. With a bourbon this special, availability is limited!
Patrons can experience the taste of this whiskey for themselves at Flûte & Dram, Ruby’s Elixir, Central Cigars, and Gratzzi, anytime now while supplies last for $12 a pour.
