Fox Liquor Bar, 237 S. Wilmington St., Raleigh, ac-restaurants.com/fox, $40
This Maker’s Mark tasting begins with a cocktail, continues with tastings of three whiskey selections, detours into some high-brow snacks (crispy cheese grit fries, pork rinds with poblano pimento cheese, cold fried chicken with biscuits and honey), and concludes with guests dipping their glasses into Maker’s Mark signature red wax as an evening keepsake.
