35 Years of Kentucky Bourbon Festival: The Bourbon & The Myths

Is Kentucky Bourbon Festival worth flying all the way from Australia to attend?

We think so—and this week we're explaining why.

We're opening the Kentucky Bourbon Festival 35th Anniversary Commemorative Bourbon, a limited Heaven Hill release blending 10, 12 and 13-year-old bourbons to celebrate the festival's 35th anniversary.

It's a beautiful whiskey, full of buttery caramel popcorn, chocolate, hazelnuts and silky sweetness, and one of the more overlooked bottles we brought home from Kentucky.

Then we tackle some of the biggest misconceptions about attending Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

Are tickets really that difficult to get? Is it expensive? Do you have to pay for samples? And what else is there to do in Kentucky once the festival is over?

We share our experiences, why we love the atmosphere and community, and why we think every bourbon lover should seriously consider putting Kentucky Bourbon Festival on their bucket list.
