Savoring, Not Swigging
Organizers emphasize the importance of responsible enjoyment. According to a message from the organizers:
‘We encourage every participant to consume and taste responsibly! We have sample bottles so you can savor your spirit at a later time, at the festival or at home. We offer favorable hotel rates on our website. Please, drinking and driving don't mix!’
