The Kentucky Bourbon Festival Returns to Bardstown for a Spirited Celebration

Happening September 5-7, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival is a celebration of America’s native spirit and the Bourbon Capital of the World, Bardstown, Kentucky. What began as a bourbon tasting dinner has grown into a truly authentic experience that brings together bourbon enthusiasts from all over the world during National Bourbon Heritage Month.

Attendees can purchase special-release bottles directly from distilleries, including exclusive “Distillers’ Row Series” single-barrel releases handpicked by the Kentucky Bourbon Festival team and available only at the festival. Onsite lockers are available to store your treasures in until you’re ready to leave and a new partnership will allow guests to have purchases shipped home from the festival (where permitted).

Expanded premium programming offers opportunities to hear from master distillers as they talk about mashbills, secondary finishes and even how their distilleries came to be; or enjoy a variety of culinary and cocktail programming with chefs and mixologists.

All passes offer unlimited re-entry to the festival, sampling from more than 60 Kentucky distilleries, access to exclusive single-barrel selections, engaging programs with industry experts, and expanded dining options. Sip and shop at The Bourbon Marketplace, an always-popular feature that will bring more than a dozen bourbon-themed vendors into this year’s Bourbon Capital Bites area.
