Things are sure to get splashy on Wednesday night.

"Peat can't be beat!"

"Smoke's no joke!"

"I love 15-year-olds!"

The Great Whisk(e)y Debate is coming up on Wednesday, and you can expect the participants to argue strongly for their causes (though we wouldn't recommend saying that last slogan too loudly).

The free event (7-9 p.m. at Faith & Whiskey in Lincoln Park) will explore the differences between American bourbon, Canadian whisky and Scotch whisk(e)y via the opinions of some well-soused experts. Complimentary samples will be provided to all attendees. RSVP to (773) 248-9119 or greatwhiskeydebate@gmail.com.
