The Distiller Dinner event at Lux Row Distillers was a hit in 2025! Guests filled the tasting room, enjoying this fantastic welcome cocktail before sitting down to a delicious catered meal featuring paired bourbons explained by Master Distiller John Rempe. More amazing pours were available at the bar. It was an evening to remember!

PS. We spoke to our partners at Lux Row recently... they're cooking up something even more special for 2026! 😉🥃

When Barton 1792 Master Distiller Ross Cornelissen hosts, you know you're in for a treat! Ross hosted a very special tasting for a full classroom in the Brindiamo Penthouse, bringing some core 1792 pours as well as some ultra special samples for us to taste through. What an experience!

One of the coolest parts? Ross asked that 100% of the ticket proceeds be directed to the build of the Bardstown Sports & Aquatic Center, a great resource in the works for our local community. 👏👍🥃

Who is ready for 2026 National Bourbon Week?!
