The Florida Craft Spirits Association recently announced the 2nd Annual Sunshine Spirits Festival will be held at Manifest Distilling in Jacksonville, FL on Oct. 15, 2022. The festival will include participation from various distilleries from across the state of Florida who will be on hand to provide tastes of their handcrafted spirits.

The Sunshine Spirits Festival will include food trucks, DJ, lawn games, and the opportunity to win bottles of spirits in a chance drawing. Festival goers will have the special opportunity to meet the distillers and gain a unique perspective on the craft spirits industry. The event will begin with an exclusive ticketed VIP hour from 11am - 12:30p which includes early entry into the festival, complimentary brunch bites, and a bottle of the limited edition “Florida Bastard” whiskey blend. General admission for the festival will take place from 12:30-4:30pm.

Available for the first time at the festival, the “Florida Bastard” whiskey blend tells the story of the incredible distillers across our great state. Like all legendary bastards, this whiskey was born from multiple homes ranging from Amelia Island to Bradenton and points in between. This fine whiskey, the first of its kind, was sourced entirely from eight Florida craft distilleries including St. Augustine Distillery, St. Petersburg Distillery, Dark Door Distilling, Manifest Distilling, Marlin and Barrel, Loggerhead Distillery, Kozuba & Sons Distillery, and Loaded Cannon Distilled Spirits. It contains a blend of straight bourbon, straight rye whiskey, straight rye finished in maple syrup barrels, and American single malt. The whiskeys range in age from one year with rapid aging technology to conventionally aged seven year.

Tickets for the Sunshine Spirits Festival are on sale now at bit.ly/sunspirits2022. Tickets are currently $125 for VIP, $40 for early bird general admission, and $5 for a designated driver ticket.
