Supporters of the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast enjoyed the nonprofit organization’s annual Whiskers for Whiskey tasting event in partnership with The Chef’s Table on Sept. 24. The event raised more than $9,500, which will support the humane society’s shelter animals.

      Guests enjoyed chef-prepared four-course pairings that accompanied each pour. BHAKTA out of Vermont was the featured whiskey.
