Join us for an evening featuring Ki One Korean Single Malt led by Bryan Do, the visionary founder of this unique single malt whisky. Do has his roots planted in L.A., mostly in the Miracle Mile neighborhood and attended UC Irvine + UCLA. He’s the brains and a fair amount of the capital behind Three Societies Distillery, which is bringing to the global spirits market products no one ever could have predicted as being hip: a distinctly Korean gin and a portfolio of single malt whiskeys that are the very first of their kind in his ancestral home. We are featuring 4 releases not sold in the US (yet), they only had 60 cases of Batch 3 + Batch 4 arrive in the US last year. These are all special pours, should be fun! [link]

about the distillery:
The Three Societies Distillery is nestled in the Namyangju mountains, north-east of Seoul. In summer, their spirits are baked in the Korean sunshine and the heat allows the spirit to penetrate deep into the wood. In winter the sunlight doesn’t rise above the Baekbong mountain casting a long winter shadow over their spirit, while the extreme cold pushes it out into the cask having extracted an array of aromas.

about Melrose Umbrella Co.:
Located in the heart of Los Angeles' historic Melrose shopping district, the Melrose Umbrella Co. brings the social cocktail experience back to basics, where chivalry is alive and well: a place where you are welcomed as a neighbor in an atmosphere that feels like home.
​
In the early stages of development, owners Zach Patterson & Austin Melrose sought to create a nostalgic environment whilst celebrating the return of the craft cocktail, to one of the most diverse shopping and dining avenues in the world. This is the place where you make history, it’s where great minds and ideas are bred, and creativity flourishes. [link]
