Atlanta’s bourbon lovers and changemakers, mark your calendars: the second annual Taste of Generosity: Bourbon + Botanicals is back on Friday, August 15 — and this year’s event promises more flavor, more fun, and even more purpose.
Hosted by the Georgia Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, this one-of-a-kind fundraising experience will take place at the always-stunning Stave Room and ASW Whiskey Exchange from 6 to 10 p.m. The night is equal parts bourbon tasting, community celebration, and powerful movement to support those living with MS.
Guests will enjoy curated pours from 30+ national and local beverage partners, including Blue Note Bourbon, Anteel Tequila, Four Roses, Buzzards Roost Spirits, Brugal 1888, and Distillery of Modern Art. On the culinary side, standout bites from top Atlanta restaurants like Auburn Angel, Mission + Market, Grana, The White Bull, Alici, and Arrivato will satisfy every palate. (P.S. Alici and Grana are new additions this year!)
To keep the energy high, there will be live music, an atmosphere buzzing with connection, and a chance to mix and mingle with local philanthropists, foodies, and tastemakers — all while supporting a critical cause.
Guests can choose from three tasting ticket tiers (Classic, VIP, and ASW VIP+), with VIP access already sold out. And yes, the ever-popular bottle pull is back, giving attendees the chance to score rare bottles and limited releases in one of the night’s most exciting draws.
This year’s silent auction opens early on Friday, August 8 at 6 p.m., giving everyone a chance to start bidding on incredible items before the big night. A few highlights include:
- The Vineyard Wine Market’s Wine Tasting for Twelve

At 8:15 p.m., the event will shine a spotlight on this year’s Honorary Chairs: Kaleb McGary of the Atlanta Falcons, Matthew Drooker (CTO, The Weather Company), and Keyon Emami, a medical student and passionate MS advocate.
Co-chair Tara Murphy, founder of 360 Media and an MS Society Board of Trustees member, brings her signature energy and purpose to the event. As she puts it: “It’s about raising our glasses — and our voices — for people living with MS. Through awareness and support, we’re helping move the needle toward a cure.”
Whether you come for the bourbon, the bites, or the cause, Taste of Generosity is an unforgettable night that gives back in the most flavorful way.
