Luxury Group by Marriott International is excited to offer a unique experience in a sealed auction titled “Whiskey Reverie: Presented by The Ritz-Carlton”.  
 
This special opportunity starts with a 2-night stay in a suite at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad – as the launch pad for an unparalleled whiskey discovery. Enjoy a curated dining experience by the experts of the José Andrés Group in the private dining room at The Bazaar by José Andrés. Fellow whiskey enthusiast Fawn Weaver—the founder of Uncle Nearest and the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Whiskey—joins you for dinner.
 
Then, journey to the heart of America’s whiskey's scene: Tennessee. This two-part experience includes a visit to the Nearest Green Distillery, also founded by Fawn Weaver, which honors Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller and godfather of Tennessee Whiskey.  Indulge in a luxurious suite stay at The Joseph, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville before being whisked an hour south to Shelbyville, Tennessee, where you'll visit the distillery. Here you will enjoy a tour and tasting excursion hosted by Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler, before being shuttled back to Nashville to enjoy a night on the town.

The experience includes a signed copy of Fawn Weaver’s bestselling book, “Love & Whiskey.”
