Meet Your Maker & Cocktail Class

with Chaunci King of Royalty Spirits

featuring Rex Rye Whiskey & Miru Pear Vodka

We welcome members and guests to join us at the Library for this special Meet Your Maker event with Royalty Spirits founder, Chaunci King. Royalty Spirits was established in 2014, making Chaunci King the first Black woman to own a liquor company in the Pacific Northwest. Since opening, Royalty Spirits has successfully launched their Rex Rye Whiskey, Miru Pear Vodka and has recently expanded into drink mixers and canned cocktails, with their products in over 100 liquor and grocery stores across Oregon.

King will share the story of their distillery and guide guests through a tasting of their Rex Rye Whiskey and Miru Pear Vodka! The presentation will be followed by a cocktail class, with MWL veteran bartenders guiding guests through one stirred cocktail and one shaken cocktail using Royalty’s featured spirits. Cocktails will be accompanied by light bites from MWL chef, Robert Kelly, and each guest will go home with a surprise gift from Royalty Spirits! Given the nature of the event all seating will be communal.

We are continuing to follow safety guidelines and ask all attendees to provide proof of vaccination with a valid ID at check in.

We look forward to hosting you!
