From June 14-21, National Bourbon Week returned to Bardstown, Ky., bringing distilleries, makers and enthusiasts together in the heart of bourbon country.📍
Here’s what our Director of Whiskey Sara Havens had to say about why Bardstown remains such an important gathering place for the industry.
“Bourbon Week began with a successful hunt for the 21-Year Elijah Craig at Heaven Hill, and it ended with the fantastic MashUp event that featured Bardstown’s best bourbons, distillers, fine fare, vintage pours and so much more. Just another reason why Bardstown remains the Bourbon Capital of the World. I hope you can join in the festivities next year!”
Bourbon continues to shape communities like Bardstown through tradition, connection and the cultural and economic impact it brings to the region.
A celebration well poured. 🥃
