Rau gallery, this exclusive tasting experience promises an unforgettable evening of fine spirits, gourmet cuisine, and live jazz—all while supporting a noble cause.
A Night to Remember
On February 6, 2025, the historic French Quarter will come alive with the sounds of clinking glasses and smooth jazz, as whiskey enthusiasts gather at M.S. Rau. Known for its breathtaking collection of art, jewelry, and antiques, the gallery will transform into a haven for whiskey lovers, offering close to 100 premium spirits from esteemed distilleries like GlenAllachie, Kilchoman, and Nc’Nean Organic Single Malt.
The ambiance will be heightened by live jazz performances, providing the perfect soundtrack to an evening that blends the art of whiskey with the cultural richness of New Orleans.
Star Power Galore
The Art of Whiskey event isn’t just about fine spirits—it’s also about star power. This year’s lineup includes an impressive array of celebrities and athletes, ensuring an evening filled with memorable encounters. Guests can look forward to meeting Ron Isley, the Grammy-winning artist and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who will be pouring his signature Ron Isley Liquid Gold XO Brandy.
NFL personalities like Hue Jackson, TJ Ward, Eric Metcalf, Dylan Laube, Bub Means, and Kristian Wilkerson will also grace the event, along with hip-hop legend Doc Curry and former Mrs. Universe, Ella Markovsky.
Culinary Delights and Cigar Pairings
In addition to the exquisite whiskey selection, attendees will have the chance to enjoy gourmet bites crafted to complement the evening’s premium drams. For cigar aficionados, a specially curated lounge will offer the perfect setting to indulge in a fine cigar paired with a choice spirit.
Educational Opportunities
