This Friday, CL's Whiskey Business is back at Nova 535 in St. Pete for one of the most epic spirit tastings in the 'Burg. 

With more than 50 whiskey expressions to sample, it is safe to say a designated driver is needed for this adventure. No need to make them wait in the car, DD tickets are just $15 and they can enjoy bites from Noble Crust and SaltBlock Hospitality Group like a massive 24-foot cheese and charcuterie spread. 

Live music will be playing throughout the evening and burlesque show to heat things up. Back to the booze. 

Guests will have access to unlimited samples from 26 distillers who will be pouring up a variety of whiskey expressions each; all of it is included in general admission for $60. VIP tickets, which are priced at $85, include early entry, a VIP lanyard, one Brick House Double Connecticut cigar by J.C. Newman Cigar Company and a humidor bag by Boveda Inc.
