Tucson, Arizona – January 16, 2026 – The Women In Whiskey event, a cornerstone of the American whiskey community, is returning to Tucson, Arizona, marking its fifth anniversary with a curated tasting and cocktail experience. The event, scheduled for Friday, January 16, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM MST at 118 East Congress Street, Tucson, AZ 85701, promises an evening dedicated to celebrating the burgeoning role of women in the world of spirits.
This year’s event, sponsored by Batch and Whiskey Del Bac, builds upon the foundation laid by previous iterations, offering attendees a chance to explore the nuances of American Single Malts and hone their cocktail-making skills. The core of the evening will be a tasting of three select whiskey pours, generously provided by the event’s esteemed sponsors.
Attendees will be guided through the tasting process, learning about the production and characteristics of each spirit. Critically, they’ll then participate in a hands-on cocktail-making class led by Janna, providing attendees with the knowledge and techniques to create their own signature cocktails using Whiskey Del Bac spirits. A specially crafted, exclusive cocktail will also be available for all attendees to enjoy throughout the evening.
Beyond the tasting and education, attendees will have the opportunity to acquire a bottle of local Del Bac whiskey, available for purchase at $45.00, allowing them to replicate the experience at home.
