🎟️ Tickets Available Now
We’re taking Cedar Ridge’s QuintEssential Experience and giving it a Chicago twist. Join us and Master Blender Murphy Quint at Slightly Toasted for a night of hands-on blending, exploration, and straight-up fun as we work through 6 to 10 unique cask-finished single malts selected specifically for this event.
You’ll taste through a diverse lineup of American Single Malts, learn how Murphy builds their award-winning Solera and Single Cask Series, and then build your own blend. Not just for fun—your blend will be judged live, and three winners will take home Cedar Ridge bottles free of charge.
Why Cedar Ridge Matters
Cedar Ridge isn’t just making waves—they’re defining what Midwest whiskey can be. As the top-selling bourbon in Iowa, they’ve absolutely crushed their local market and have earned national respect from critics, collectors, and whiskey influencers alike.
Murphy Quint has helped make them a standout name in American Single Malt, sourcing world-class finishing casks to add complexity and depth to their malt whiskey. What you’ll taste on June 11th is proof that innovation isn’t limited to the coasts—it’s alive and well in the heartland.
If you haven’t tried their juice yet, this is your chance. If you already have, you know why this night matters - get your tickets here!
