Inverroche Gin Masterclass + Take-Home Bottle at LP Vinyl Bar

Saturday, September 6th
LP Vinyl Bar, Los Angeles | 6:30 - 9:30pm

$40 per ticket | Includes Masterclass + Take-Home Bottle


Inverroche

An Inverroche Gin Masterclass and Tasting - includes a bottle of Inverroche 'Amber' Gin to take home ($35.00 Value).

Join us for a one-night deep dive into Inverroche Gin—South Africa’s botanical pioneer—hosted at LP Vinyl Bar in Hollywood. Guided by Global Brand Ambassador Lauren Penny, you’ll explore Inverroche’s Cape fynbos roots, taste through the range paired with light bites, and learn to mix timeless gin cocktails (yes, Negronis) alongside South African–inspired bites. LP’s resident DJ will keep the groove going with a set of South African tracks.

Your ticket will also include a take home bottle Inverroche "Amber" Gin! ($35 Retail Value)

About Inverroch Gin: Founded by Lorna Scott in Still Bay on South Africa’s Western Cape, Inverroche helped spark the country’s craft gin movement. The distillery’s hallmark is its use of indigenous fynbos botanicals, marrying sustainability with precision distilling to produce gins that are distinctly Cape in character. From modest beginnings to a globally recognized label, Inverroche remains deeply connected to its community and landscape.

About LP Vinyl Bar: Reborn in 2024, LP Vinyl Bar pairs Lost Property’s cocktail chops with the record collection of LA DJ Raul Campos. Tucked into the heart of Hollywood, it’s a discreet hangout for serious music and serious drinks—perfect for a hands-on, music-forward master class.

Ticket price covers all taxes & fees, including service charge. All alcoholic beverages will be served exclusively by LP Vinyl Bar in accordance with their licensing.

Space is limited. Secure your spot and take home bottle here!

Kanosuke Whisky Tasting at Superprime

Thursday, September 11th
Superprime, San Francisco | 6:00 - 8:00pm

$180 per ticket | Includes Guided Tasting + Bites + Take-Home Bottle


Kanosuke

A Guided Tasting of Japan’s Coastal Single Malts - includes a bottle of Kanosuke Single Malt to take home ($79.99 Value).

Join us for a spirited evening exploring the distinctive character of Kanosuke, one of Japan’s rising stars in single malt whisky, hosted at Superprime—San Francisco’s vibrant modern steakhouse built on fire, flavor, and a deep love for beef from farmers across the U.S., Australia, and Japan. This exciting dinner will be hosted by Bay Area great Chris Lane of High Road Spirits and Roland Ng from Kanosuke, both Japanese whisky experts.

Located on the lush coast of Kagoshima, Kanosuke Distillery was founded in 2017. Drawing on the coastal climate, diverse barrel aging, and their signature use of a pot still inherited from the Hioki Distillery, Kanosuke whiskies have quickly earned a reputation for their smooth texture, elegant complexity, and gentle seaside character. Each expression in this lineup reflects the distillery’s evolving style.

Our host for the evening, Superprime, offers a bold evolution of the American steakhouse defined by clean technique, curated sourcing, and a refined yet elemental approach to cooking. The menu will be an ideal match for Kanosuke’s nuanced whiskies.

Whether you're a longtime collector or just beginning to explore Japanese whisky, this evening promises a memorable journey through one of the country’s most exciting young distilleries.

Each guest will also receive a bottle of Kanosuke Single Malt Japanese Whisky ($79.99 Value) to take home.

Ticket price covers all taxes & fees, including service charge. All alcoholic beverages will be served exclusively by Superprime in accordance with their licensing.

Space is limited. Secure your spot and take home bottle here!
