COVINGTON, Ky. — Wenzel Whiskey, a local business and event space specializing in whiskey blending, and Cincinnati entrepreneur and mixologist Molly Wellmann will host an event on Sept. 30 highlighting a limited, locally-produced whiskey called The One 50th Blend.

The event will celebrate Wellmann’s 50th birthday and the 150th anniversary of whiskey production at Wenzel.

“This is such an iconic way to celebrate a 50th birthday,” Wellmann said in a recent press release. “I had the pleasure of joining several of my friends knowledgeable in spirits for Wenzel’s unique whiskey blending experience where we all created and blind tasted our own whiskeys. Mine won, and that’s how we ended up with The One 50th Blend Gold Label release.”

The event will take place beginning at noon on Saturday, Sept. 30 at Wenzel Whiskey in Covington. Bottles of the One 50th Blend will be on sale while supplies last for $99. Wellmann will also be on hand to sign bottles for those interested

Wellmann recently partnered with Northern Row Brewery and Distillery's Five Stories Spirits and the Krohn Conservatory to create a botanical-infused gin. Titled "Cincinnati Gin," the gin features notes of seven specially selected, hand-picked edible botanicals by Wellmann from the Krohn Conservatory.
